PPG’s unsolicited offer has prompted AkzoNobel to explore selling off its specialty chemicals division.
AkzoNobel rejects a $22 billion bid from PPG Industries despite notable consolidation in the chemicals industry, according to an article from MarketWatch. AkzoNobel is also reportedly exploring selling off its specialty chemicals division, spurred by PPG’s unsolicited offer.
