Updated Distributor Manual, Effective July 1
The 2023 Distributor Manual is now available for download. The manual contains information on all programs and polices available to AkzoNobel distribution partners and includes the following updates, effective July 1, 2023.
- Due to the increase in shipping cost, the freight minimum for all paint orders will now be $10,000. A $250 surcharge will be added to any orders totaling less than $10,000.
- The grid used for calculating volume discounts on Sikkens and U-TECH has been unchanged for 8 years amongst an increase in product costs. To adjust for this, there will be an increase of approximately 10% added to the grid tiers. This grid will become effective July 1, 2023 and will used to calculate the volume discounts made effective on July 1, 2024. This change will not affect the upcoming volume review and discounts effective July 1, 2023.
- The AkzoNobel process used for instances in which an end-user requests a distributor change has been outlined on page 9.
