The partnership will capitalise on AkzoNobel’s extensive global network and focus on providing International® high-performance coatings to Sinopec and its affiliated entities for international construction projects.
The paints and coatings supplier AkzoNobel, through its Marine and Protective Coatings division, has entered into a Memorandum of Cooperation with Sinopec, a leading Chinese energy and chemical company, to support its international growth and promote the transition to green energy.
“Having already successfully collaborated with Sinopec on several landmark projects, we’re honored to strengthen our partnership, reflecting our shared vision to advance towards a more sustainable future. One of China’s largest integrated energy and chemical companies, Sinopec (China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation) is actively promoting the transformation and upgrading of its traditional businesses, enhancing its green energy supply capabilities and advancing energy conservation and emissions reduction,” has stated Simon Parker, Director of AkzoNobel’s Marine and Protective Coatings business and member of the Executive Committee.
The collaboration encompasses the supply of specialised coatings, including anti-corrosive solutions for steel structures, high-temperature-resistant protective coatings, chemical-resistant coatings for storage tanks, and high-performance fireproof coatings. These products will be used in demanding projects such as the construction of refineries, natural gas processing plants, and chemical production facilities. The partnership builds on a successful track record of joint initiatives, including major projects like Sinopec Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Company’s million-ton ethylene project and the Petronas RAPID project in Malaysia.
“Our international products have been used on everything from some of the world’s most sustainable buildings to projects in impossibly remote areas. This is another opportunity to use our extensive industry experience and exceptional product portfolio to help a customer thrive in the global arena. The signing ceremony took place during the recent opening of the 7th China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai.
