Creating Innovative Products Together

Creating innovation together has resulted in a portfolio of process-driven products that help reduce cycle time and inventories for our bodyshop customers, ultimately resulting in lower business costs and improved profitability.


Creating Sustainability Together

We also recognize the importance of environmental sustainability when selecting a premier refinish system. Focus on sustainability is a key element of AkzoNobel’s strategy and has led to innovations in the Sikkens portfolio, such as our market-leading waterborne technology, Autowave, UV curing products and an assortment of low-VOC clearcoats and primers.


Creating Innovations in Color Together

We know that having quick, easy and accurate access to color matching is critical to achieving optimal throughput and cycle time. That is why capturing new, continuously evolving and complex colors visible on today's vehicles is a critical factor in the robustness of the AkzoNobel car color database – a database that has over 2,000,000 color formulas.

Creating Performance Together

From start to finish, we deliver the highest quality in everything we do. Innovative and sustainable products, services and color are just the start – it is the combination of our products, partnerships and people that ultimately create business value.

Creating Partnership Together

For Sikkens, creating partnership goes beyond solving business challenges and developing new products. It is about forging long-term relationships with our customers, distribution partners, suppliers, OEMs and other industry influencers, to share and build on our combined knowledge and expertise.
