Lacquers determine the lasting appearance of surfaces by giving materials an attractive look and agreeable feel and by protecting them from chemical and mechanical impact.

With our finely-tuned sixth sense for future trends and firm commitment to quality, we have been developing and manufacturing premium coating solutions for decorative applications in Sissach, Switzerland, for more than 80 years. Our top-quality special lacquers are primarily used for automotive applications, spectacle frames, domestic appliances, hearing aids, cosmetics packaging, telephony, sanitary fittings, writing implements and for watches and jewelery.

By collaborating closely with you, we are able to combine your specific requirements and the demands of the marketplace with state-of-the-art developments in lacquer technology. This results in attractive surfaces of outstanding durability and emotional personality that effectively emphasis functional design and help to imbue polymeric and metallic materials with an unmistakable identity.

Successfully developing and making top-grade customized lacquers calls for integrated production processes. Our highly-qualified chemists and applications technicians maintain a constant interdisciplinary interchange with manufacturers of substrates and raw materials, professional organizations and trend scouts in order to remain abreast of the most recent impulses in the marketplace and to ensure they are up-to-date on the latest findings. Even when dealing with extremely complex substrates and ambitious design concepts, we can create trailblazing premium products ready for the market or for further development.

To ensure quality, all stages of development and production are governed by a sophisticated quality management system complying with ISO 9001:2000 guidelines. All processes are monitored by both our own and customer-specific test procedures and practical trials – right up to individual fine-tuning for full-scale end applications on site.
