Industrial coatings specialist, Teknos, has completed the acquisition of Dutch company, Drywood Coatings and is now the sole supplier of Drywood products in mainland UK.

By including Drywood products in the established range, Teknos has widened their already comprehensive offering for professionals in the joinery and construction industry. The new Drywood portfolio features products which are highly durable, give a smooth, high gloss finish and, just like Teknos' own paints, they are environmentally-friendly, water-based and contain minimal or no solvents.

The Drywood products complement Teknos' paints and coatings products for both interiors and exteriors which are in demand from professionals due to their durability, superior quality and environmental credentials. The company is also known for its expert support to professionals in the joinery and construction industry.

Managing Director of Teknos GBI, Michelle Alcock, explains "This is an exciting time for Teknos GBI and the business as a whole. Drywood is an excellent strategic acquisition for the brand and offers customers even greater choice in protective wood coatings. We are looking forward to advising customers of the benefits of Drywood products and assisting them in selecting the perfect coatings for their projects".

With production in the Netherlands, the acquisition allows Teknos, which operates across Europe and beyond, to consolidate the company's position in Europe. It also allows access to Drywood's production unit in the Netherlands so that production capabilities are broadened.
