The Company
Berger-Lacke is a subsidiary of the Berger Group and part of an independent family company founded in 1926, now in its fourth generation. The manufacturer develops and produces industrial paints and special coatings for the industries of pumps, pipes, valves, castings, mechanical engineering (indoor and outdoor), automotive, equipment manufacturing, defense technology, plant engineering, waste management, sporting goods manufacturing, and for metal suppliers. The portfolio includes water-based paint chemistry, Very-High-Solids systems, and powder coatings as 1K and 2K systems for single- and multi-layer painting on ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as plastics. Production at the sole site in Grünstadt on the German Wine Route manufactures batches from 1 kg to 15,000 kg on an order basis, with batch- and location-traceable quality assurance from raw material to finished product. In the TechnologyCenter IndustrialCoatings, application and drying including simulation of all climate zones are tested; in addition, the company offers as-is analyses, process optimization, training and technology days.
