Here is Coatings World’s weekly recap—the most viewed news stories on our site for the week ending March 14, 2026.

First item this week, PaintCare UK will be trialed in the West Midlands Combined Authority area. The pilot will allow consumers and tradespeople to return leftover decorative paint and empty packaging to selected participating retailers, helping to unlock reuse and recycling at scale. Coatings World sat with Stahl CEO Maarten Heijbroek to discuss Stahl’s growth over the year, as well as an outlook for its future. Next, AkzoNobel announced it will nominate two of its Supervisory Board members for reappointment at the company’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) in April, as well as a new member. PPG announced added a versatile, fast-drying clearcoat to its leading PPG DELTRON portfolio of automotive refinish products across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). Lastly, Coatings World caught up with Sebastien Villeneuve, Transformation Manager, Coil Coatings, AkzoNobel Coil & Extrusion Coatings, to discuss the evolution of IONOMY and initial customer response following its launch.
