Recently, Carlyle (The Carlyle Group) offered Akzo Nobel CEO Ton Büchner a price of 5.
3 billion euros for the sale of Axalta coatings.
In addition to Akzo Nobel, Sherwin-Williams also has this acquisition intention.
Although on the one hand, such a large acquisition fund does not meet Akzo's recent tightened financial budget, on the other hand, if the acquisition is successful, it will greatly promote Akzo's business expansion in the American market.
Axalta is part of the private equity giant Carlyle Group (Washington), formerly known as the DuPont Automotive Coatings Division.
In February 2013, the Carlyle Group acquired it for 3.
7 billion euros and holds a 99.
5% stake.
At present, the parties have not issued any statements on this matter.
