In the global coatings industry, Hempel A/S is undoubtedly a shining name.

From architectural decoration to industrial protection, from ship coating to container protection, Hempel A/S provides customers around the world with comprehensive, efficient and environmentally friendly coating solutions.

History and Heritage: A Century of Brand Accumulation

The history of the Hempel Group can be traced back more than a century. In 1915, founder Skovgaard-Hansen founded the company in Copenhagen, Denmark, with its initial business focused on the field of marine coatings. With the changes in market demand and the promotion of technological innovation, Hempel gradually expanded its product line to involve multiple fields such as construction, industry and infrastructure.

After more than a hundred years of development, Hempel has grown from a small local enterprise to a leading global coatings manufacturer. Today, its headquarters is still in Copenhagen, but its business scope has covered more than 80 countries and regions, with more than 7,000 employees. This global layout enables Hempel to better understand the unique needs of different markets and provide them with customized solutions.

Core business: comprehensive coating solutions

As a comprehensive coatings manufacturer, Hempel Group's product lines cover several key areas:

• Architectural Decorative Paints: Provide beautiful and durable interior and exterior wall coatings for residential, commercial buildings and public facilities. These products not only focus on appearance, but also emphasize environmental performance to meet the needs of modern consumers for healthy living spaces.
• Industrial protective paint: In response to the special requirements of heavy industries such as oil and gas, electricity, bridges, etc., we provide high-performance coatings that are corrosion-resistant, heat-resistant, and anti-oxidative. These products effectively extend the life of equipment and reduce maintenance costs.
• Marine paint: Hempel's advantages in this field are particularly prominent. Its antifouling paint and anti-corrosion paint are widely used in various types of ships, including tankers, bulk carriers and luxury cruise ships. These products can not only improve the navigation efficiency of ships, but also reduce fuel consumption and promote sustainable development.

Whether for civil or industrial use, Hempel has always been committed to improving the functionality and environmental friendliness of its products through innovative technologies, helping customers achieve higher value.

Technological innovation: the engine driving future development

In the coatings industry, technological innovation is the key to maintaining competitiveness. Hempel is well aware of this, and has long regarded R&D as one of the core strategies of the company. Every year, the company invests a lot of resources in new product development and technological upgrades, striving to make breakthroughs in performance, application convenience and sustainability.

In recent years, Hempel has made remarkable achievements in the following areas:

• Water-based paints: A series of water-based paints with low VOC (volatile organic compounds) content have been launched, which greatly reduces the impact on the environment.
• Nanotechnology: Use nanomaterials to improve the adhesion, wear resistance and self-cleaning ability of coatings.
• Smart coating: Developing a smart coating system that can monitor surface conditions in real time and automatically repair itself further improves the product’s lifespan and reliability.

In addition, Hempel also actively cooperates with academic institutions and scientific research units to jointly explore cutting-edge technologies in the coatings industry. This open cooperation model not only accelerates the transformation of new technologies, but also consolidates the company's leading position in the industry.

Sustainable development: responsibility and commitment

In today's society, enterprises should not only pursue economic benefits, but also shoulder social responsibilities, especially in environmental protection. Hempel Group has performed particularly well in this regard. As early as 2007, the company formulated a "sustainable development strategy" aimed at reducing the impact on the environment by reducing carbon emissions, optimizing resource utilization and promoting green products.

Specifically, Hempel has taken the following measures:

• Use renewable energy for electricity and reduce the use of fossil fuels.
• Improve production processes and reduce wastewater and exhaust emissions.
• Launch more environmentally friendly products, such as solvent-free coatings and coatings made from bio-based raw materials.
• Participate in international environmental protection projects and support community construction and ecological protection.

These efforts have been highly recognized by the industry and the public. Hempel has been rated as one of the "most sustainable coatings companies in the world" for many consecutive years, fully demonstrating its leading position in this field.

Global layout: a bridge connecting the world

As a truly global enterprise, Hempel Group has established a comprehensive production and sales network around the world. Currently, it has production bases and R&D centers in Asia, Europe, America and Africa, which can quickly respond to the needs of customers in various regions.

In the Chinese market, Hempel's performance is particularly eye-catching. Since entering China in the 1980s, the company has established factories in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin and other places, and formed a professional local team. With a deep understanding of the Chinese market and high-quality services, Hempel has become the designated coating supplier for many large-scale engineering projects, such as the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, Shanghai Tower and other iconic buildings.

At the same time, Hempel is also continuing to make efforts in emerging markets, such as India, Brazil and Southeast Asia. Through localized operation strategies, the company has introduced advanced technology and rich experience into these regions, helping local customers solve practical problems while also creating new growth points for itself.

Corporate culture: people-oriented, creating brilliance together

Success is inseparable from an excellent corporate culture. Hempel Group always adheres to the core value of people-oriented, respects the contribution of every employee, and encourages them to realize their potential. The company implements a flat management structure to promote cross-departmental collaboration and knowledge sharing; at the same time, it also provides employees with abundant training and development opportunities to help them achieve their career goals.

In addition, Hempel also attaches great importance to the cooperative relationship with customers. By regularly holding technical exchange meetings and field visits, the company has established a long-term trust relationship with customers and jointly promoted the progress of the industry.
