“We are proud to have strong con-
nections to two countries with such
remarkable histories,” continued
Büchner. “The bond between Sweden
and the Netherlands is as close as it
has ever been and long may our mutual
success continue.”
As part of last weekend’s celebration
events, Büchner took part in a roundtable
discussion involving ministers and select-
ed CEOs from the two countries, as well
as meeting the King and Queen of Sweden
at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, when
he explained AkzoNobel’s vital role in its
recent renovation.
A special book to mark the anniversary was also launched, which includes a
chapter about AkzoNobel written by the
company’s former senior vice-president
of human resources, Olle Werner.
