The SW color Lackfabrik GmbH
The SW color Lackfabrik GmbH was newly founded in 1993. SW is the shorthand symbol for the two founders, the technician Helmut Suckfüll and the businessman Berthold Weißflach.
The founding concept was the development, manufacture and sale of high-quality industrial paints for coating metal and plastic.
High basic investments in process and testing technology as well as qualified employees in laboratory, production and sales enabled the evolution from a no-name start-up to a Europe-wide, well-known company with a recognized quality standard. We currently employ 80 people.
