The second biggest oil company in the world, Shell is active in 130 countries and operates approximately 45,000 service stations and several thousand business sites including offices and manufacturing plants.
The redesign will include all of these locations, with Akzo Nobel having been chosen as one of only two approved suppliers for the five-year project.
“Being awarded approval on this scale is a clear indication of the unrivalled quality and expertise we are able to offer our customers wherever they may be,” said Akzo Nobel CEO Hans Wijers.
“As the world's largest coatings company, we are always looking to offer innovative solutions to our customers and meeting Shell's extensive requirements emphasizes our wide-ranging know-how and global capability in all aspects of coating technology.”
The redesign calls for exact color matching on a host of different objects and surfaces, such as signage, metal and plastic façades and sidings, roofs, steel construction, and internal and external doors and windows.
These surfaces will be coated using a variety of technologies, including powder, coil and liquid coatings, which means Akzo Nobel's Car Refinishes, Industrial Finishes, Powder and Decorative Coatings businesses will all be involved. Auxiliary materials supplied by Akzo Nobel Polymer Chemicals have also been specified by Shell and their contractors.
“Being able to fulfill, and exceed, Shell's requirements gave us the edge in a highly competitive field,” explained Peter Langford from the company's Car Refinishes business, who was also Team Leader for the approval campaign.
