AkzoNobel has been awarded the prestigious Innovation Award for Boat Care and Maintenance at the 2018 International Boatbuilders’ Exhibition and Conference (IBEX) . IBEX is the largest marine industry trade event in North America, and an important gathering for yacht industry professionals to network and showcase their latest achievements.
