AkzoNobel enhances McLaren partnership

8th February 2022

AkzoNobel has extended its 13-year partnership with McLaren Racing. The enhanced, multi-year agreement will see the two working together to explore new possibilities in the areas of sustainability, innovation and product development.

A number of new initiatives have already been identified that both companies believe will add value in multiple areas. These include greater technical collaboration, shared innovations and the exchange of personnel.

Meanwhile, AkzoNobel will also remain McLaren Racing’s exclusive Official Partner: Coatings Solutions, while also becoming a Sustainability Partner, which will result in a new, integrated approach to process and operations.

Patrick Bourguignon, Director of AkzoNobel’s Automotive and Specialty Coatings business, said, “Our shared focus on outstanding performance and pioneering innovation will help to propel us both forward and add a new dimension to our formula for success. We’re also looking forward to incorporating our ‘People. Planet. Paint.’ approach as we strive to play an active role in McLaren Racing’s sustainability journey. It’s all about building on the amazing success we’ve had so far and shaping the partnership for the future.”
