Hempel

From bridges and boats to power stations and landmark buildings, our coatings can be found around the globe, helping make our world safer, stronger, more beautiful and longer lasting.

We have been producing protective coatings since 1915. Today, we are a world-leading supplier of trusted solutions to the protective, marine, decorative, container and yacht markets. This includes many recognised brands like Crown Paints, Schaepman and Jones-Blair. Hempel is proudly owned by the Hempel Foundation, which supports cultural, humanitarian and scientific causes across the world.

Our coatings extend product lifecycles, reduce maintenance costs and bring colour to our homes and places of work. We see ourselves as guardians of our customers’ most valuable assets. On every project, we are there every step of the way to advise, support and provide the products that our customers depend on. It’s why we exist and why we’re the partner of choice for customers in over 80 countries worldwide.

We are committed to conducting business in a socially responsible manner. Our coating solutions ensure that homes and industrial structures and equipment remain safe and corrosion-free for longer, which helps reduce their overall environmental impact. But we believe a coating should do more, so we constantly strive to develop coating solutions that improve our customers’ environmental performance and add real value to their businesses.

Our fouling control systems for ships’ hulls, for example, reduce vessel fuel consumption and CO2 emissions; we produce anti-mould and anti-bacterial coatings that improve hygiene in homes, schools and hospitals; and our fast-curing low-VOC protective coatings help line manufacturers increase efficiency and reduce emissions.
