Hi there
I am looking for a list of Akzo Nobels global manufacturing
facilities/plants. I just completed a list for Genzyme and the answer
would look like this

USA
San Carlos	CA	Diagnostic test kits and reagents

If the product manufactured can be determined that would be a plus, if
not, not to worry.

Thanks

This is going to be another hard hunt gill53 --

"Akzo Nobel operates in three main fields: Pharma, Coatings and
Chemicals. Each Group has several business units.."

http://www.akzonobel.com/company/business.asp

Are you just focusing on Pharma or are you looking for the others too?

I've started on the Pharma (Organon International) and have so far
found nothing. No mention of manufacturing locations at all. Just
headquarters and research facilities. Not a good sign I'm afraid.

Agreed, they're a tricky one. I'm not particularly interested in the
decorative coatings or liquid ink sections, pharma is the one I'm
chasing. But as you said difficult to chase down........

Hello again


I've had a go at the last of your questions but, as with the previous
one I did, it was a case of piecing together what I could, wondering
why they make it so difficult and feeling really grateful when I came
across an Organon website that spelt things out clearly!


Akzo Nobel's Pharma Group has two businesses manufacturing human
healthcare products, i.e. Organon and Diosynth.
