AkzoNobel looks to expand its capacity

Chemicals and coatings giant AkzoNobel said it is a perfect fit to help China boost its green development and innovation and is looking at further expanding its capacity in the country.

Marcel Galjee, energy director of AkzoNobel Industrial Chemicals, said the Amsterdam-headquartered company is in prime position to push Chinese green development and innovation and China is always a firm part of the company's strategy.

"China is at the core of our strategy for future growth and our commitment in China is strong," Galjee told a media briefing during the eighth Clean Energy Ministerial in Beijing, the annual meeting of energy ministers and other high-level delegates from 24 member countries and the European Union.
