Akzo Nobel

Introduction

AkzoNobel's many products help create a difference to every day life. Our activities are organized in twenty business units. Operating close to the market, these independent international businesses generate billions of Euros in sales.

We are the biggest global coatings manufacturer and the number one in decorative paints and performance coatings, as well as being a major worldwide supplier of specialty chemicals. Did you know for instance that one out of every three aircraft in the world is painted with our coatings? And that the many high quality specialty chemicals we produce give unique qualities to numerous products that all of us use in every day life? For instance, we provide paper producers with additives that not only make paper stronger, but also improve ink absorption and help to speed up the printing process. In fact, you could come across our products anywhere in the world without even realizing it.

You will understand that our 57,000 employees are proud of our company. A lot of attention is paid to people, their development and giving them the opportunity to contribute to the company's results. Taking initiative is both appreciated and encouraged. Thus, real creativity is given a chance to make a difference.

CASE: Expanding production capacity

The case of AkzoNobel challenges you to think about all aspects related to the expansion of production capacity. The challenge is to decide whether the existing production site in Delfzijl should be expanded or that building a new production site in Ningbo, China is preferred.

Investment and production costs are expected to be lower in China. In addition, the main market is already there. However, sustainability is key in AkzoNobel. That implies the work towards a more sustainable business also in environmental and safety issues, for which Delfzijl has a solid reputation. Can China meet our standards?

Come and join this case and find out how you can contribute to making such a decision in our company!
