What Renner Italia does

Renner Italia S.p.A. is a privately held Italian industrial coatings manufacturer, headquartered in Minerbio (Bologna), Italy, with fully paid-in share capital of €5,250,000 and a headcount band of 251–500 employees. The company develops and markets water-based, solvent-based, UV-curable and bio-based coatings across four substrate families — wood, metal, plastic and glass — serving industrial customers in furniture, metalmeccanica, agricultural/construction/earthmoving equipment (ACE), transports, PVC and cosmetics packaging, graphic industry, and naval applications, alongside a retail/private-user coatings line. Its technology platform is anchored by an in-house tintometric colour system that reproduces 1,825 RAL shades, NCS, Pantone, Chroma and proprietary CS 2015 charts, supported by in-house laboratories and a Renner Academy training platform.

The portfolio comprises dozens of named products and solutions, including the Italian Glass and Securglass (UNI EN 12600:2004 Class 1(B)1 certified) glass ranges, Nuvia Coatings for plastics (95–97% VOC reduction and up to 60% energy savings with LED vs mercury lamps), Ultimate Protection UV+ hybrid hydro-oils for exterior wood, the Double Guard System (15-year warranty for doors/windows), A step forward for staircases, and 5-Matt Protection. Renner Italia's revenue model is anchored in B2B industrial coatings sales (hardware), with four additional streams: retail/private-user coatings, technical assistance and custom formulation services, and technology licensing / co-branded distribution via the Emporio Italian PU range with Asian Paints in India. Distribution runs through a dedicated enterprise field-sales force, a multilingual (IT/EN/FR/ES/DE) digital storefront, the Asian Paints channel partnership, and an Italian retail/SMB line.

The company is a member of the Gruppo Renner Herrmann (Renner Herrmann Group), operates an ESG-oriented industrial model (employee housing welfare, social responsibility, GreenGuard, ISO 12944, CAM/Cosmob certified ranges), and pursues an editorial content and event-driven marketing programme anchored by annual colour-trend publications (Borghi d'Italia, RAL, NCS, Pantone), Salone del Mobile, and WorldSkills Shanghai 2026 sponsorship. Lindo Aldrovandi serves as Chief Executive Officer.

The portfolio spans water-based, solvent-based, UV-curable and bio-based formulations, with proprietary systems such as Ultimate Protection UV+ hydro-oils, Nuvia UV coatings for plastics, Securglass anti-breakage glass coating, and tintometric colour-matching platforms.

Product overview

Renner Italia S.p.A. is a single-company portfolio organized as a platform of surface-treatment ranges grouped by substrate — wood (Legno), metal (Metallo), plastics (Plastica), and glass (Vetro) — with an additional Solutions (Renner Solution) layer of cross-substrate systems and a Color Study program. The wood range is the largest, split into water-based (Vernici all'acqua) and solvent-based (Vernici a solvente) lines, plus specialized sub-ranges (fire-retardant Vernici ignifughe / Firewall MED, GreenGuard, bio-based, sanitizing, parquet, retail/private) and named solutions like 5-Matt Protection, A step forward (staircases), Double Guard System and Niso Exterior 2K (exterior), and Ultimate Protection UV+ (hybrid hydro-oils for exterior). The metal range covers ACE, engineering/Metalmeccanica, design, transports, anti-corrosion per ISO 12944, the tinting system bestsellers Renpur 2K WB and AcrylTop 2K SB DTM, and the "Low impact hi-tech" program, supported by the Renner Academy. The plastics range centers on PVC, cosmetics, other surfaces, and the Nuvia Coatings sustainable UV line (100% solids, water-based, bio-based, LED-curable). The glass range comprises the Italian Glass sub-brand (interior design) and the certified Securglass safety coating. The Color Study program issues annual palettes such as Borghi d'Italia and color-system trend reports (NCS, RAL, Pantone, Color Tunes Book) that Renner Italia's tintometric systems reproduce. Renner Italia is also the Italian technology partner behind Asian Paints' Emporio Italian PU range (Emporio GOLD and REGAL) for the Indian market.
