Dulux is "Bruger" here

Dulux was acquired on Mar 22, 2017 by "Akzo Nobel", the Dutch chemicals and paints company.

From Sky News:

 "Imperial Chemical Industries, or ICI for short, was once the bellwether for Britain's industrial sector and one of the country's most famous companies - until it was taken over for £8bn in 2008.

Now Akzo Nobel, the Dutch chemicals and paints company that bought ICI, is itself fighting for its own independence.

The company, which traces its origins all the way back to 1646, has received an unwanted €22.4bn (£18bn) takeover approach from America's PPG Industries, the world's biggest supplier of car paints, which today raised its offer.

Ordinarily, an American company bidding for a Dutch one might seem of minimal interest in Britain, but not in this case.

Akzo Nobel employs getting on for 3,500 people here in the UK, manufacturing famous brands such as Dulux paint, Polycell wood and wall filler and Hammerite, the metal paint. PPG, too, has a significant UK presence.

I thought the EU had laws to protect companies and prevent hostile take-overs! 
Fingers crossed they can get enough support from big business to prevent the take over and loss of all those jobs.
