The new facility, located in the Gold Coast City Marina in Coomera, Queensland will enhance AkzoNobel’s global technical network which supports applicators and industry professionals with personalized consultations and a hands-on training program to improve their skills and deliver high-quality results.

Kane Barfoot, AkzoNobel’s yacht coatings’ Regional Technical Services Coordinator, said: “Our focus is to empower professional applicators with the knowledge and skills they need to excel. Following on from the success of our YPAC’s in North America and Europe, this new facility will offer comprehensive training programs that cover everything from theoretical paint knowledge to innovative application techniques. We’re excited to be the centre for professional development in the region, helping applicators, distributors, retailers and yards stay ahead of the curve.”
