Currently the greatest challenges in developing bio-based coatings are finding uniform raw materials that fit the supply chain, and the availability of raw materials.

We are building the company towards our vision: to be sustainable coating solutions provider close to customers. This requires faith in the vision, strong leadership, fast reaction to the changing environment and tough decisions.

Our aim is to provide our customers the best solutions to their needs. We want to further develop our offering to Czech customers in utilizing the best competence and knowhow we have in Teknos group. We see the acquisition as an excellent next development step is the Czech market.

Teknos’ strategy aims to ensure fast and profitable growth and improved customer experience. Through the Drywood Norge AS acquisition we are able to enter the architectural coatings market in Norway where we are now able to serve our current and new customers with an extended product assortment and direct deliveries.

We have had success in introducing the Drywood products to the Norwegian market and been able to establish long term customer relationships. Now that Teknos takes over the business, we are sure that the business will continue to develop positively.

Kiilto is a well-known brand and the product trade names such as Aku de Luxe and Kalle Pro are well appreciated among the parquet professionals. All the products have “Finnish Key Flag” and they are produced in Finland with a responsible and professional manner. The products have M1 classification that stands for low emissions. These values connected to Kiilto brand are well appreciated, even among our customers.

Right from the beginning we’ve been considered as a part of the Teknos family

We expect the trainees to provide us with new and fresh insights and views

As a family owned company, it is utmost important for me to ensure continuity for the company. We need to have balance in all of the decisions we make and actions we take. We will focus more on sustainability in our processes, products, services, and everything we do. To deliver unique customer experience, we need to further develop our service and product concepts. To succeed in the previously mentioned initiatives, we will build a culture of continuous improvement with an ambition to provide even better service to our customers

We want to create a truly customer-centric strategy to optimize all the interactions from the customer’s perspective. We have certain customers that use coatings from all of our current segments (Metal, Industrial Wood, and Architectural Coatings) and currently they have to adapt to our structure when turning to us for help. Furthermore, we have certain distributors that would like to offer all our products. We aim for one face towards these customers and distributors

We felt that we needed a place where we can provide trainings for our partners and our own staff on using our products. The facilities also allow us to test our own products, before commercializing them, in the circumstances where they will be used

I’m extremely pleased with the fast, smooth, and successful completion of the acquisition. With net sales of CHF 77 million, which is about EUR 72 million, and more than 380 employees in 6 countries, Feyco Treffert is by far the biggest acquisition that Teknos has accomplished. We look forward to providing our customers with a globally expanded range of services, products, and R&D capabilities

The acquisition of powder coatings from Śnieżka supports Teknos’ growth strategy. We have been developing our powder coatings business for many years with good success. The acquisition is a natural step for Teknos. This improves our service level in the powder coatings and opens-up new business opportunities in the Polish market.

I’m extremely happy for the fast completion of the acquisition. With the production unit in Enschede, in the Netherlands, Teknos is able to further broaden our production capabilities in the European market. I’d like to welcome our competent people from Drywood on-board.

Teknos’ vision is to be the leading supplier of technically advanced coating solutions close to customers. Through the Drywood acquisition Teknos gains access to the coating markets in Holland, an extensive dealer network in Norway and a product assortment that complements our current range.

The acquisition of industrial coatings business from Feidal Coatings strengthens our position in general industry coatings. We will now focus on building the business forward in close cooperation to ensure high quality and improved service level to our customers.
