Coil Expertise

Our Americas Region Coil Coatings business was founded in 1888 under predecessor Hanna Paints. Through a series of acquisitions the segment grew, and in 1989 was acquired by Akzo, creating a global coatings business.  In 1994, Akzo merged with Nobel to become AkzoNobel, with global headquarters in Amsterdam and operations in over 150 countries.

Today, our Americas team is headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, with our coil coatings presence extending across North and South America.  Our Americas footprint includes manufacturing sites in Columbus and Huron, Ohio; Garcia, Mexico; and Sao Paolo Brazil.  Our production sites and our customers are further supported by R&D Labs in Mexico; Brazil; Columbus, Ohio; and our LEED certified R&D center in Strongsville, Ohio.  

Our best-in-class CERAM-A-STAR 1050^® and TRINAR^® topcoats are designed for excellent weather resistance and long-term protection in exterior applications, and our versatile POLYDURE^® products deliver the flexibility and durability needed for a diverse range of applications. 

The quality and performance of our coatings are driven by the high-caliber materials we carefully select in our formulations. This includes resins that provide strength and flexibility, and advanced pigmentation for enhanced color retention and cool chemistry properties.  The full system performance is evaluated through extensive laboratory tests, and our Global Weathering Program to ultimately deliver reliable, top-tier performance for any project.
