What Remmers does
Remmers is a German specialty chemicals company founded in 1949 (incorporated 1950), headquartered in Löningen, Lower Saxony, and operating as an independent, family-owned enterprise under the Remmers Gruppe umbrella. The company manufactures building protection chemicals (waterproofing membranes, concrete repair systems, facade hydrophobization, and interior insulation), industrial floor coatings (epoxy primers, polyurethane flow coatings, and sealers), and wood protection coatings (water-based impregnations, lasures, and PUR lacquer systems for windows, doors, furniture, and ship interiors). Its portfolio is sold as integrated system solutions backed by the proprietary Remmers System Garantie (RSG), with technical claims validated by DIBt approvals, TÜV PROFICERT certifications, and DIN/WTA standards compliance.
Remmers generates revenue primarily through one-time sales of specialty chemical products, priced on a quote basis with 30-day payment terms. The company sells via a direct field-sales force of over 250 specialized representatives, its own e-commerce platform, a network of specialist trade merchants, and dedicated supply partnerships with prefabricated house manufacturers (SchwörerHaus, HUF HAUS, WeberHaus, Finger Haus, Bien Zenker, Hanse Haus, and others). It operates through nine German subsidiary entities — including Remmers GmbH, Remmers Industrielacke GmbH (Hiddenhausen), BAUFIX, Avenarius, and the Bernhard Remmers Institute for Analytics (BRIFA) — and serves customers across 21 countries and 14 languages, with active commercial relationships in construction waterproofing, heritage restoration (e.g., Cologne Cathedral, Notre-Dame de Paris), industrial flooring (e.g., VW-Werk Baunatal, University of Cologne), and timber-frame housing. Its primary customer segments are trade/craft businesses (Handwerk) and industrial wood manufacturers, with architects/planners, investors, and specialist retail as secondary channels.
