Their world class portfolio of brands ā€“ including Dulux, International, Sikkens and Interpon ā€“ is trusted by customers around the globe. Theyā€™re active in more than 150 countries and have set their sights on becoming the global industry leader. Itā€™s what youā€™d expect from the most sustainable paints company, which has been inventing the future for more than two centuries.

John began his career with AkzoNobel in Account Management 20 years ago. A Coaching background along with spending 10 years in a body shop that was very engaged in (and still is) AkzoNobel's Acoat program had him very interested in it from the get-go. He is now the Canadian Acoat Business Services Manager. John is very passionate about helping Organizations and Individuals realize and reach their full potential.

Brad Kruhlak has been in the trade for 42 years. Starting in Calgary at Reineking Paint & Auto. Once they moved on to concentrate on selling Sikkens, Brad painted at a couple of shops in Calgary, before the Reinekings approached him to be a Technical Rep. in Red Deer in 1995. He stuck around after AkzoNobel purchased Reineking Paint working in Red Deer and Calgary and, in October of 2019 took on the role of the Technical Manager for Canada. To this day, Brad says he still enjoys the many challenges that this business continues to present.
