TEKNOS FEYCO TREFFERT at FMC China 2017

Feyco Treffert complements the Teknos product line-up

Renowned paint manufacturer Feyco Treffert came under Teknos ownership in May. With sales of 72 million euros and 380 employees in six countries, this marks the largest acquisition that Teknos has made to date. It takes in Feyco AG of Switzerland, Treffert Coatings GmbH in Germany, subsidiaries in China, Malaysia and the USA, as well as Schekolin AG with its production plant at Bendern in Liechtenstein.

For the first time, next month in mid-September at Furniture Manufacturing & Supply China in Shanghai, Teknos Feyco Treffert (Teknos Treffert) will be showed off our combined coating expertise with a consolidated portfolio of paints for furniture, doors, floors and garden furniture.

We are pleased to invite you to visit our Booth N5E65 at the FMC 2017 trade show, which will be held in Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC), China between 12 – 15 September 2017. Under the theme ‘Live green, live life’, this year FMC highlights are:

• Water-based coatings for furniture & doors
• Water-based glaze for color styling
• Full UV coating system for panel application
• LED curing technology
• Exterior – garden furniture, window & doors
• Fire retardant paint systems

Interior Furniture, Doors and Floors

Teknos Treffert develops and manufactures coating solutions for industrial manufacturing companies, and professional products for wood craftspeople. The portfolio includes wood stains, oxidative drying oils, UV-curing varnish and oil systems, water-based 1K and 2K paint systems, care products and accessories. The focus is on solutions for interiors – furniture, doors, and floors.

Exterior Garden Furniture, Window and Doors

Whether pine or eucalyptus, premium or budget, opaque or natural – requirements in the surface treatment of garden furniture are diverse. Teknos Treffert also has the right solutions for this segment in its product range.

The requirements in surface treatment of garden furniture are diverse. Teknos Treffert also has the right solutions for this segment in its product range.

Terraces and garden are a popular place to relax and rest. It’s no wonder that the demand for outdoor furniture is continuing worldwide. Material combinations and composite materials have gained considerable momentum, but wood still plays an important role in this segment. In Northern Europe, domestic softwoods are particularly in demand for outdoor furniture. Hardwoods dominate the rest of Europe and in Asia, primarily lower-priced varieties such as eucalyptus or acacia.

Teknos Treffert offers industrial manufacturers in this segment a wide product range of suitable coating solutions, covering all of the typical requirements. Cutting-edge, practice-tested impregnations, multi-purpose and special primers, fillers, top coats and varnishes for a variety of bases, surface requirements and processes are available.

Fire Retardant Paint Systems

Among the proven Teknos solutions in this segment is a fire-retardant system for opaque coatings both indoors and outdoors – and thus perfect for cladding. For interior wall and ceiling cladding, corridors, stairwells and other unweathered surfaces, Teknos offers a state-of-the-art clear coat solution which allows natural indoor wood surfaces even under strict fire regulations.

The world’s tallest wooden building, the renowned AccorHotels Arena in Paris, shopping centres, public buildings, residential properties – Teknos solutions are often the first choice when it comes to fire-retardant coating of wood.

Wanda Smith appointed Managing Director of Teknos Treffert in Malaysia

Wanda Smith has been appointed as Managing Director of Teknos Treffert Malaysia as of 14 June 2017. Wanda will be responsible for the Teknos operations in Malaysia and South-East Asia. She will have a key role in developing and managing the operation to support Teknos’ growth plan in the Asian markets.

For the past 14 years Wanda has been responsible for the Group Corporate Affairs activities, ranging from legal administration including commercial contracts, people development, corporate communications, PR, CI/CD and marketing for the FEYCO TREFFERT Group. Her wide experience within corporate affairs, long experience in the coatings markets and multinational background are perfect combinations when taking over the new role as Managing Director. Wanda reports to Marcel Dissel, Strategic Business Director, Industrial Wood.

Teknos completed the acquisition of FEYCO TREFFERT, a company specializing in wood coatings on 3 May 2017. The acquisition is an important part of Teknos’ growth strategy providing Teknos an access to new markets in Switzerland, Malaysia, and the USA, and strengthening its position in the wood segment globally.

“FEYCO TREFFERT Malaysia has been operating in Malaysia/South-East Asia since 1997 with steadfast growth and progress. Now being part of the Teknos Group, we have great opportunities to expand further with an even broader product portfolio of interior and exterior industrial wood coatings. I look forward to take the business to the next level with my highly experienced and committed team”, says Wanda Smith, Managing Director of Teknos Treffert Malaysia.

Teknos purchasing the Feyco Treffert Group and Schekolin AG

On 10 April 2017, Looser Holding AG, our parent company, signed contracts with the Finnish Teknos for the sale of the FEYCO TREFFERT Group and Schekolin AG. The sale covers the acquisition of the companies Feyco AG (St. Margrethen, Switzerland), and Treffert Coatings GmbH with its head office in Alzenau, Germany, together with its subsidiaries in China, Malaysia and the USA. In a further acquisition, similarly signed on 10 April 2017, Teknos additionally purchased our sister company, Schekolin AG, which produces a range of wood coating products for the FEYCO TREFFERT Group in its state-of-the art production facility in Bendern, Liechtenstein. Closing is expected to take place by end of April 2017.

Teknos is an internationally operating coating company specialised in industrial coatings, architectural coatings and decorative paints. Teknos was founded in 1948 and is one of Finland’s biggest family-owned companies. The group has 1300 employees and a presence in 18 countries with production facilities, subsidiaries and sales companies.

The new owner intends to further expand the FEYCO TREFFERT Group’s business and to maintain the production capacities of Schekolin AG. In that way, Teknos is creating the conditions for providing even better service for its global customers in the USA, Asia and Europe.

“We are convinced that these acquisitions will generate added value for our customers: our two companies complement each other in geographical terms and in respect of their product ranges. The FEYCO TREFFERT Group is benefiting from the know-how and will be able to further strengthen its market position – including in the field of window and facade products. Teknos, for its part, is supplementing its product range for interiors and further expanding its market presence. Teknos will benefit especially from the FEYCO TREFFERT Group’s leading market position in Switzerland, where the new owner has not been active to date”, says Marcel Dissel, CEO of FEYCO TREFFERT Group.

New impulses for industry – FEYCO TREFFERT at LIGNA 2017

FEYCO TREFFERT will present its latest product highlights of industrial surface coatings at the LIGNA 2017 – the world’s most important trade fair for both the wood and furniture industry as well as the woodworking industry – in Hanover, Germany, from 22-26 May 2017 in Hall 17, Booth C65.

In the field of floors, FEYCO TREFFERT will showcase various coating systems for a wide range of surfaces from parquet and laminates to design floorings. Main product highlight will be its latest innovative LED-curing coating system for parquet floors. This special coating system particularly stands out in terms of highest chemical and mechanical resistance, low energy consumption during the curing process and low emission levels, thus, contributing significantly to a company‘s sustainability.

Colours have a profound impact on our lives. They transform our environment, shape our mood and give people the opportunity to express their individuality. Digitally printed surfaces no longer have any limits. Coating systems for digital printing applications will also be the focus of FEYCO TREFFERT at this year’s LIGNA.

Furniture surfaces contribute decisively to the characteristics of a room. For example, velour-like surfaces can be created by soft-touch coating systems which make furniture pieces look authentic and modern. From ultramatt to high gloss, FEYCO TREFFERT offers a wide range of surface finishings with remarkable scratch resistant, anti-fingerprint and/or pleasant haptic properties.

Last but not least, for doors, FEYCO TREFFERT will introduce special coating systems for roller and spray applications which are adaptable to the most diverse requirements of door manufacturers, ranging from price optimisation to maximum durabilities, and always with efficiency consideration in mind.
