FDLO·JP · NL · VN·1 day ago
AkzoNobel agreed to sell its paint operations across seven Asian countries for €1.2 billion, retaining about €900 million after taxes and minority payments. The divestment continues its strategic exit from Asian decorative paints, following earlier sales in India and Pakistan. The deal, expected to close by mid-2027 pending regulatory approval, signals a portfolio shift toward higher-margin businesses.
