About Dold AG
Dold AG is a Swiss manufacturer of paints and coatings based in Wallisellen. The family business (AG, 100% family-owned, third and fourth generation), founded in 1921 by Hans Dold, develops, produces and distributes coating solutions for painters/decorative painters, industry and corrosion protection, rail vehicles, fire protection and construction applications. The product range includes paints and coatings, epoxy resin-based floor coating systems, system coatings (combined powder and wet paint solutions together with sister company IGP Pulvertechnik AG) as well as thinners and specialty products. The portfolio is designed as a colour mixing system (Dold ColorSystem): RAL, NCS and DB shades are tinted with high-quality pigment pastes and base colours, for small and large quantities.

CHF and ten locations in Switzerland, Dold supplies the home market as well as internationally active industrial customers.
