Hempel

Founded in Copenhagen in 1915, Hempel delivers an extensive range of coating solutions for the global yachting industry, catering to DIY enthusiasts, yacht owners, professional maintenance teams, and commercial builders. The product line covers protective and performance-enhancing coatings designed to shield and restore all types of pleasure craft, from small dayboats to large luxury hulls.

Beyond the leisure boating sector, the company operates across decorative, marine, infrastructure, and energy markets worldwide.
