Akzo Nobel extends global reach across Ukraine
Akzo Nobel is set to become one of the leading suppliers to the Ukrainian decorative paint market after signing an agreement to acquire a 51 percent controlling share in the coatings activities of Khimrezerv.

Headquartered in Kiev, Khimrezerv�s paint business manufactures and sells waterborne and solvent-borne decorative coatings. Founded in 1993, Khimrezerv began paint production in 1998 and is currently one of the Ukraine�s top five decorative coatings manufacturers, operating a plant in Kirovograd, 350 kilometers from Kiev. Taking a majority stake in Khimrezerv�s coatings activities boosts Akzo Nobel�s market presence in the Ukraine and creates a platform for growth in other areas, particularly the mid-range segment.

The transaction, which is subject to regulatory approvals, is the latest in a series of deals involving Akzo Nobel Decorative Coatings, with acquisition agreements also signed in China, Switzerland and Germany in recent months.
