With over 150 years of experience in paint making, Beckers has grown from a small retail shop in Stockholm, Sweden, to become a leading global coatings company that develops high-quality, environmentally compatible paint systems.
Beckers Group, founded in 1865 by German chemist, Carl Wilhelm Becker, today is privately owned by ➜ Lindéngruppen, a Swedish family business with a focus on sustainable and long-term development of industrial companies. In 2022, 1724 people worked at 23 production sites in 17 countries around the world, contributing to sales in around 60 countries.
Our corporate head office is located in Berlin, Germany. The company has two business areas, Coil Coatings and Industrial Coatings, that are managed in three regions: Northern Europe & Americas, Southern Europe & Africa, and Asia & Middle East.
