Akzo Nobel Launches Nobilas Repair Cycle Management Business

Called Nobilas, the company provides repair, accident and claim management services while enabling partnerships between Akzo Nobel and international motor insurance and leasing companies, as well as fleet owners worldwide.

The new business, headquartered in the Netherlands and active in most countries in Europe and North America, intends to bring benefits to all parties involved in the repair cycle by removing unnecessary costs from the total value chain.

Rudy van der Meer, member of Akzo Nobel's Board of Management responsible for Coatings, explained, "The establishment of Nobilas is clear proof of the importance we have always given to developing innovative services that enable our partners to do their work more efficiently and profitably. Nobilas has the potential to become the leading provider of effective solutions in all areas of accident management services."

Cor de Grauw, General Manager of Akzo Nobel Car Refinishes added, "Because of Akzo Nobel's extensive knowledge in the car repair and automotive industry, as well as some very successful accident management businesses we have initiated in the past, we saw an opportunity to connect all parties involved in the accident management process. In order to operate as a separate company which has its core focus on generating an efficient value chain, we decided to establish Nobilas."
