Following its acquisition of National Starch Personal Care, AkzoNobel Surface Chemistry has named its distribution network in Europe, Asia and Africa.
AkzoNobel's distribution network will supply raw materials from its personal care business unit, a unit formed after the National Starch acquisition in 2008. The distributors reportedly were chosen for their proven track records in the European personal care market. They will be distributing all AkzoNobel and former National Starch polymers and surfactants for personal care applications in their respective markets on behalf of AkzoNobel Personal Care. The distributor network includes:
