In 1905 Carl Hülsemann started a production of special paints for wood, tools, and machinery, as well as paints for the dip- or immersion coating of eyelets for a locally strong shoe accessories industry.
An important advance took place in 1926. The production of paints and colours was from now stepped up to an industrial basis. Low-cost paints for the around-the-house application were now only produced very efficiently by bigger companies. HÜLSEMANN continued to concentrate on special industrial paints.
Today, after 110 years the company HÜLSEMANN is a medium-size family business and Philipp and Thomas Hülsemann manages the firm in the fourth generation. The production today contains various industrial coatings systems for metal, plastic, wood and glass. The production and sales portfolio covers the two key competence areas: industrial coatings and mini coatings.
