History

Oskar Nolte was established in 1959 as a manufacturer of paints for neighboring furniture manufacturers. It started by providing a full range of products, however greatly increased its focus on specialty segments in the early ‚‘90s of the last century. The strategic decision was taken to concentrate only on large-industrial manufacturers of boards as customers for its products.

A milestone has been reached in 2019 when Oskar Nolte acquired the former BASF foil coatings business from AkzoNobel. This led to a strong move into a complementary field of business activity. Also, a new site at one of the most appealing German cities, Münster, was established.

Large industrial customers require a superior value for the products bought. Due to the large volumes needed, we understand that there is no space for waste in handling raw materials and finished goods and in the whole manufacturing process. However, it is not just the product which we supply to our customers.
