Akzo Nobel is a multinational company active in the fields of healthcare products, coating and chemicals. It was formed in 1994 when the Dutch company Akzo acquired the Swedish company Nobel Industries. Akzo itself is the result of a merger of 1969 of Algemene Kunstzijde Unie (AKU) und Koninklijke Zout Organon (KZO). Various branches of the companies trace their traditons back to the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Swedish weapons manufacturer Bofors once a part of Nobel Industries, is no longer a part of the company. Organon International is the healthcare division of the company.
