History

Since it was founded in 1861, Burcharths Farve- & Lakfabrik A/S has grown from supplying local painters and decorators to now supplying exclusively to industry.

The business develops, produces and supplies the metal and plastics industries in particular, with customised water-dilutable and conventional painting systems, with the accent on environmental-friendly products. We also represent and distribute products from our range of European partners.

The company currently employs around 44 people, of whom about a third are employed within the company's Research & Development department.
