Our name
Our name, Nouryon, is inspired by two of our company’s many pioneers: Jan Nourij and Gerrit van der Lande. The pioneering spirit of Nourij & Van der Lande continues to inspire us to work together to create success, innovate to meet customer needs, take pride in working safely, and be a leader that can shape an industry.
Our heritage
While Nouryon officially formed in October 2018 after separating from AkzoNobel, its origins go back much further. Our history is an intricate web of mergers, acquisitions, and divestments spanning four centuries and locations ranging from the Netherlands to Germany, Sweden, China, the US, and Brazil.
