KLB Kötztal

What KLB Kötztal does

KLB Kötztal Lacke + Beschichtungen GmbH is a German family-owned manufacturer of reactive resin floor coating systems, headquartered in Ichenhausen, Günzburg district, Bavaria, with origins around 1990. The company produces liquid reactive plastics — epoxy resins, polyurethane systems, acrylic resins, amine hardeners, and polyisocyanates — formulated into commercial and industrial floor coatings sold as a coordinated system portfolio under proprietary sub-brands including CHEMORESIN PU-BETON (chemically resistant, mechanically loadable), FLOOR SEALER (seamless renovation of elastic coverings), and KÖTZTALER Pflasterfugenmörtel (water-permeable paving joint mortar). Its systems address eight application verticals: industry, automotive/garages/parking, agriculture, food and beverage, healthcare/pharmaceutical, offices and public facilities, special solutions, plus two go-to-market business units focused on planners/architects and processors/installers.

The company operates a sales-led B2B model with project-based, quote-driven pricing and no disclosed public price list. Orders flow through an inside sales team and dedicated order, technical, and service hotlines, while regional sales consultants across Germany and Europe handle on-site technical consultation for planners, building owners, and floor installers. A dedicated export department hotline manages international inquiries, supported by a multilingual (DE/EN/FR) website and a sales-contact roster spanning Europe, Asia, the Americas, and Oceania. Standard delivery is quoted at 8–10 working days, with 14-day payment terms, and product development is active across renovation (PU 5000 RX rapid-cure), decorative (PU 414 FLAIR), and joint-system (Blockfugenlösungen) extensions to the core portfolio.

KLB Kötztal employs over 180 people at its Ichenhausen facility and is led by three members of the Kehrle family — Artur Kehrle (Dipl.-Ing. FH), Patrick Kehrle, and Dr. Julian Kehrle — serving as managing directors. The firm holds regulatory approval under the German Federal Immission Control Act (12. BImSchV) for storage and processing of epoxy resins, acrylic resins, amine hardeners, and isocyanates, with the most recent on-site inspection by the Landratsamt Günzburg conducted on 2024-10-16. The company maintains IHK Schwaben recognition as an outstanding training company, runs the KLB Academy for installer education, and presents itself as a globally active Mittelstand family business, though quantitative financial data is not publicly disclosed.
