Company Magazine

The inside story

Our company magazine is published four times a year and is available in English, German, Chinese and US versions. In recent editions we’ve looked at AkzoNobel's nanotechnology expertise, how to protect the world’s biggest and scariest rollercoasters, and how our coatings make golf balls fly better.

We’ve also examined climate change and revealed how AkzoNobel is linked to CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (the world’s most-watched TV show). We’ve even looked into the positive role our products play in the Bollywood film industry.

The latest issue focuses on change. We look at how our Coatings business has helped transform the London skyline and report on the efforts being made to change attitudes towards AIDS in China.
