Coatings company selected as primary paint supplier for Walmart's 3,500-plus US stores.


The agreement, which was announced by Akzo Nobel today, builds on an existing relationship with Walmart for paints in Puerto Rico and Canada as well as the supply of Liquid Nails adhesives in the US.

Akzo Nobel board member responsible for decorative paints Tex Gunning said: "This is an excellent opportunity for us to work with Walmart and offer their customers an exciting new in-store program. This is a landmark deal, which will significantly boost our market share in the US and contribute to further enhancing the value of our Glidden brand there."
