Akzo Nobel not only continues its collaboration as McLaren Racing's Partner Coating Solutions, but is now also Sustainability Partner of the McLaren racing team. Both companies have set out to deepen the strategic partnership and create added value in a number of areas. These include mutual technical advice, exploring opportunities for innovation and exchanging personnel.
"We are incredibly proud and excited to deepen our relationship with such a long-standing and valued partner so that we can achieve more together," said Patrick Bourguignon, head of Akzo Nobel's automotive and specialty coatings business. Akzo Nobel and McLaren first worked together in 2008. Since then, they have achieved several advances in coatings technology that have not only contributed to the performance of McLaren's Formula 1 car, but also driven innovation in other industries.
