General information

Short Summary
A Dutch coatings company specialising in antimicrobial solutions holds a market-leading position in anti-mould surface protection systems for buildings in the Netherlands. Active since 2008, the company is the national market leader in long-term mould prevention. It develops system-based solutions for walls and ceilings for professional use and is seeking distribution partners across Europe serving the professional building and property markets.
Full Description
A Dutch coatings company specialising exclusively in antimicrobial coatings holds a strong position in anti-mould surface protection systems for the built environment. Active since 2008, with over 300 points of sales for the professional painter, the company is the market leader in the Netherlands in the long-term prevention and control of mould growth in buildings.

Products / services offered
The company develops and supplies complete, system-based anti-mould solutions for walls and ceilings. These systems consist of dedicated surface preparation products, primers and durable anti-mould coatings for professional use. They are designed to address recurring mould problems that result in repeated maintenance cycles, tenant complaints, health risks and increasing regulatory pressure.

Advantages and innovations
The approach focuses on long-term performance rather than short-term cosmetic treatments. Clear system guidance, defined application protocols and technical support help ensure consistent professional application and reduce the risk of repeat failures. This results in predictable performance and a lower total cost of ownership for property owners and asset managers.

Stage of development
The systems are fully developed, commercially available and proven in long-term professional use. The company has operated successfully in the Dutch market since 2008 and works with an established network of professional distributors and applicators.

Market and application areas
The systems are applied in environments where mould recurrence is a structural issue, including residential housing, social housing portfolios, public buildings, healthcare facilities, educational buildings and commercial properties.

Partner sought
The company is seeking distribution partners across Europe with experience in supplying professional painters, contractors, facility managers or property owners. Ideal partners have an established presence in the professional building materials market and an interest in technically differentiated anti-mould solutions.

Type of partnership
A distribution services agreement is envisaged, with the possibility of technical support and knowledge transfer. The company provides product training, system documentation and ongoing technical assistance to support long-term and sustainable cooperation.
Advantages and Innovations
The company focuses exclusively on anti-mould systems and has specialised in this field since 2008. Unlike many competitors that position mould resistance as an additive within standard paint products, it develops complete, system-based solutions specifically designed to prevent mould recurrence in high-risk environments.

A key differentiator is objective performance validation. The anti-mould coatings are tested in accordance with recognised European standards, including EN 15457 for resistance to fungal growth. This delivers verifiable and comparable test results, rather than visual claims or short-term laboratory screening methods commonly used in the market.

The systems are engineered for long-term performance under real building conditions. In the Netherlands, where mould complaints in housing are closely monitored, these systems have been applied at scale for more than a decade, particularly in social housing and public buildings. Repeat deployment is driven by demonstrated durability rather than price-based replacement cycles.

An integrated system approach is applied, covering surface preparation products, primers and topcoats developed to function together. This reduces application variability and lowers failure rates compared to competitors that supply individual products without defined system responsibility.

For distributors, this results in lower complaint levels, reduced technical support requirements and stable repeat demand based on proven performance in the field.

With a proven track record with >300 points of sales in The Netherlands, the company is well suited to cater to growth.
