“The acquisition of Boxing quickly positions us to respond to the increasing demand for amines and derivatives with a third of Asian demand coming from China alone,” commented Bob Margevich, md, AkzoNobel Surface Chemistry. “It also reaffirms our commitment to located production closer to our customers. Boxing is a perfect fit for our technology and its site provides us with a sound manufacturing platform.”
