With 160 years of experience in paint making, Beckers has grown from a small retail shop in Stockholm, Sweden, to become the number one supplier of coil coatings and a leading supplier of industrial paints worldwide.
Beckers’ strategic focus is on developing high-performance coating solutions that push the boundaries of performance while driving progress towards more responsible and impactful industrial practices.
Products and services
Beckers’ portfolio is centers on two main product groups:

Within both product groups, Beckers provides functional coating systems designed to deliver sustainability benefits across the value chain. These include solutions that improve energy efficiency in buildings and applications, as well as coatings that enhances durability and enable easy-to-clean surfaces, reducing maintenance needs, extending product lifetime and lowering resouce use over time.
Beckers is also accelerating innovation in UV/EB curing technologies, supported by the establishment of the FutureLab hub, to enable lower-emission, energy-efficient coating solutions. Over the reporting period, customers increasingly adopted more sustainable solutions, such as chromate-free primers and 52% of sales where from products assessed in the Beckers Sustainability Index (BSI) as Achiever Class products. These developments reflect a deliberate strategic shift towards more sustainable products and services.
