About Inducoat
Inducoat B.V. is a Dutch manufacturer of innovative coatings with antimicrobial properties. We develop and supply mould-resistant, algae-resistant and bacteria-resistant coatings for sectors including housing associations, healthcare and food industry.
Since our establishment in 2007 by paint technician Ronald Frankhuizen we combine technical expertise with sustainable innovation. Our goal is to provide lasting protection for surfaces, with minimal environmental impact and maximum effectiveness.
With a growing network of international distributors we supply our products worldwide. Inducoat stands for quality, sustainability and support — we help our customers create hygienic, safe and sustainable environments.
Inducoat milestones
Company founded
Inducoat was founded in 2007 and started with specialised coatings that added extra value to the dry paint film. This allowed Ronald Frankhuizen to make full use of his knowledge as a paint technician; adding relevant value to a relatively simple coating was his passion.
Product development
Inducoat developed coating technologies, including mould-resistant, bacteria-resistant and algae-resistant coatings. Research programmes focus on microbe-resistant dry paint films and on material and formulation choices. Bio-based raw materials are one research theme; this is not a general composition claim for the current range.
Market expansion
Inducoat was the first to bring this type of coating to market and successfully expanded its market presence by supplying coatings to various industries, such as construction, healthcare, the food industry and housing associations. This takes time in a traditional market. That makes us all the prouder of the use of our coatings, for example at ABBOTT Zwolle and CARGILL.
Research and development
Inducoat invested in ongoing research and development to improve its coating formulations and performance characteristics and meet the changing demands of industry. Sustainability is the number one priority here too. The outdoor algae line is an important development track within the range.
Partnerships and collaborations
Inducoat entered into partnerships and collaborations with other companies, organisations and research institutions to advance coating technologies and explore new applications. We were therefore very pleased with the TNO Seed Layer Test, which was the first to make the effect of our coating visible. More recently, we entered into a partnership with Professor Jonas Lindegaard, who is bringing his qPCR for mould growth to the Dutch market with us. This is how we are moving from paint to data.
Customer satisfaction
During its history, Inducoat has obtained certifications and authorisations for specific coatings. Their validity and scope are always checked for each product, version and application. For current substantiation, we use the relevant product documentation; Inducoat Cleaner currently has authorisation number 12981N.
Sustainability initiatives
Inducoat works on sustainability in product development and promotes responsible production practices. It aims to become a B Corp, and the HorsemenCare initiative in particular has a significant impact.
Awards and recognition
Inducoat received recognition for its achievements in the coatings industry, including awards for product innovation, environmental management and social innovation. We consider that last aspect particularly important: there is a place for everyone at Inducoat. From former offenders to people who face barriers to employment. We always build a bridge.
Continued growth
Inducoat experienced steady growth, expanded its customer base and product range, and built a strong reputation as a reliable coatings supplier. In 2018, AkzoNobel decided to equip its Sikkens Service Centers with Inducoat. That step marks the power of collaboration in our industry. The respect for our specialism, combined with our admiration for Sikkens' impressive market strength, remains wonderful to experience to this day.
