About Scholz Farbpigmente Schweiz
Scholz Farbpigmente Schweiz, based in Dietikon, has been active in Switzerland since 1999 as the sales company of the Harold Scholz & Co. Group for color pigments. The company exclusively distributes the inorganic iron oxide pigments Bayferrox from Lanxess as well as powder pigments based on titanium dioxide, carbon black, mixed-phase oxides and organic pigments. In addition to trading, blends, slurries, granulates and pigment preparations are produced; production takes place at the group sites Recklinghausen and Partenstein, while formulation development, sampling and color matching are carried out in the company's own laboratory in Switzerland. Customer industries include paints and coatings, renders and mortars, the concrete and precast concrete industry, artificial stone manufacturing, the textile industry as well as coating industries and niche markets. Mobile dosing systems are also used for construction sites and concrete plants. The company looks back on a tradition dating from 1902 and is run by the fourth generation.
