AkzoNobel is a Dutch chemical company, home-based in Amsterdam. They are a big
player in the world of paints, coatings and synthetics. The transport of
material for the chemical plants in the Netherlands is implemented for a big
deal over water by inland navigation tankers. They often fly the flag of the
company.
The company originated as Koninklijke AKZO (Royal AKZO) and was the
result of several other mergers. After a taking over Nobel Industries, Akzo
Nobel started under the new name in 1994. A minor name change resulted in the
name AkzoNobel in 2008. The new variant of the house flag shows the last name
and a blue figure on a white flag.
