Global supplier of liquid and powder coatings, Axalta has signed an agreement to develop a new, state-of-the-art facility in the Netherlands for its refinish business. Once complete the new facility will be the new HQ for the refinish brands, Cromax, Spies Hecker, Standox and Syrox.

Axalta’s site in Business Park Medel is 12,000m2 and will house, once completed, a 7,250m2 facility comprised of office space over three floors, a warehouse, and a new Axalta Training Centre as well as separate mixing room, which is part of Axalta’s direct business point of distribution, servicing both high-volume customers as well as local colour development.

Bas van de Ven, Axalta’s Managing Director for Refinish in the Netherlands, said, “We are always looking to improve our level of support to our customers, so today, with a view to the future, we commit to build a state-of-the-art facility. The new training centre will be able to meet the future needs of the market, while the new offices and sophisticated automated warehouse will allow us to take our daily operations to the next level and to attract and retain outstanding talent. Today we are making Axalta a future-proof partner in the refinish market. 

Construction will begin in October 2019, with an anticipated completion date by summer 2020.
