AkzoNobel is now Nouryon

AkzoNobel Specialty Chemicals has been relaunched as Nouryon. The move follows the recent acquisition of the business by The Carlyle Group and GIC, and marks the company’s transition to becoming an independent, global specialty chemicals leader.

 

Nouryon CEO Charles W. Shaver said: “Launching our new company is a significant milestone to add to our proud history and we are all looking forward to this exciting new chapter.” He added that Nouryon is ready to leverage on its experience, global presence, and strong company culture to unleash its full potential as an independent company.  

 

Mr. Charles W. Shaver, CEO - Nouryon

 

Nouryon has a history that stretches back nearly 400 years and its new name and brand identity reflect that heritage. Noury & Van der Lande was one of the first companies to realize the important role chemistry could play in everyday life.  

 

Nouryon’s new company purpose - Your partner in essential chemistry for a sustainable future - reflects this pride as well as the focus going forward. The company’s success has been built on strong partnerships and it believes that collaboration is key to future success. 

 

 

Nouryon will be working closely with customers and other partners to innovate, make strategic investments, and develop essential, sustainable solutions that meet customer needs and fuel shared growth.
