AkzoNobel has had a long relationship with Volkswagen, and its Sikkens brand has enjoyed global approval since 1994, the company said. Adding Lesonal provides repair specialists around the world with additional choices.

At the same time as the approval was extended to Lesonal, Volkswagen also renewed its approval of Sikkens. Since Volkswagen first approved the Sikkens brand, AkzoNobel has introduced numerous new products and has upgraded its entire Sikkens product line.

“We’re very pleased to gain approval for Lesonal and re-affirm Volkswagen’s approval of our Sikkens brand,” says Kerstin Stranimaier, Director Marketing, AkzoNobel Automotive & Aerospace Coatings. “Volkswagen AG is one of the most highly respected automotive manufacturers in the world, and our relationship with Volkswagen is extremely important.”
