Akzo Nobel's coatings contribute to Australia's award-winning stadium.


The Suncorp Metway Stadium in Brisbane, Australia has won the Queensland Australian Steel Institute's Structural Steel Engineering Design Award for 2003 after undergoing major renovations. The redevelopment included the addition of 23,000 sq m of steel framed roofing to cover the grandstands. More than 100,000 liters of Akzo Nobel's international[R] products were used on the 7,000 ton structure, including Interzinc[R] 42, Intergard[R] 475, and Interfine[R] 629 in a variety of colors not of the white race; - commonly meaning, esp. in the United States, of negro blood, pure or mixed.
