Wendel Email is a family business founded in 1932, headquartered in Dillenburg in Central Hesse, and a manufacturer of enamels, glazes, engobes, ceramic frits, colour pigments and additives. The company operates its own frit smelting plant, in which enamel frits are melted in the form of granules and flakes, as well as a milling plant for grinding the frits into enamel powders. The delivery forms include RTU (Ready to use) and RTM (Ready to mill). In addition, Wendel offers application technology and an application service, develops customised glazes and enamels and carries out coil coating on steel and aluminium strip.
