Teamac

What Teamac does

Teamac is a UK-based manufacturer of marine and agricultural paints and coatings, operating since 1908 under the legal entity Teal & Mackrill Ltd (Company No. 126674). The company is headquartered in Kingston upon Hull, Yorkshire, where it manufactures its full product range, and employs between 51 and 100 staff. Teamac describes itself as one of the UK's leading brands in marine and agricultural specialty coatings, with a catalog spanning topcoats, primers, deck paints, antifouling, varnishes, floor paints, and preparation products. The product portfolio is organized into two core verticals — Marine Paints and Agricultural Paints — with a system-based approach where primers (e.g., Zinc Phosphate, Metalcote Primer Undercoat, 2-Pack Epoxy) are engineered to pair with specific topcoats, creating a wall-to-wall coatings solution for boat owners, farmers, and industrial facilities.

The company sells primarily through direct-to-consumer e-commerce via its Shopify storefront (teamac.co.uk), supplemented by a third-party stockist/store locator network for customers preferring in-person retail. Pricing is unit-based across 1L to 20L containers, with products ranging from approximately £28 (1L Marine Gloss) to £240 (20L Industrial Floor Paint). Standard delivery is £7.95 (free above £150) with next-day delivery available. The customer base is fragmented across marine boat owners, agricultural operations, and industrial/commercial facilities seeking corrosion resistance, UV/saltwater protection, anti-slip surfaces, and aesthetic finishes. Marketing relies on organic social (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), technical and news blog content, and Trustpilot reviews. Geographic reach is UK-only, with no disclosed international expansion, no enterprise/B2B contract customers, no funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no institutional investor relationships.

Broad incumbents

• Hempel: Danish-founded global coatings manufacturer with a strong marine and protective coatings franchise. Sells marine paints, primers, and antifouling through UK distributors and is a direct competitor to Teamac in marine-grade finishes.
• Rust-Oleum: Large specialty coatings brand with a marine and protective paints range (Rust-Oleum Marine, CombiColor) competing in the same UK anti-corrosive and marine topcoat categories as Teamac.
• International Paint (AkzoNobel): AkzoNobel's marine coatings brand and the global market leader in marine paints, antifouling, and deck coatings. Competes head-on with Teamac in the UK marine category but operates at global scale with a vastly broader product portfolio.
• Jotun: Norwegian global coatings company with a major marine paints division (Jotun Marine Coatings). Competes in marine topcoats, antifouling, and primers and is a benchmark premium incumbent against Teamac.
• Johnstone's Paint (PPG): UK-traded paint brand owned by PPG, offering protective and industrial coatings relevant to Teamac's agricultural and industrial customer segments, though with a much broader decorative portfolio.
• Sherwin-Williams: Global coatings giant with marine and protective coating lines selling through UK distributors. A scale competitor that could pressure Teamac on price and distribution if it chooses to expand marine SKU depth in the UK.

Direct peers

• Hammerite (AkzoNobel): AkzoNobel-owned UK brand specializing in metal protection paints and rust-resistant finishes. Competes directly with Teamac's Metalcote, Farm Oxide, and other anti-corrosive product lines.
• Crown Paints: UK-based mainstream paint manufacturer with industrial, protective, and marine-adjacent ranges. Competes with Teamac in protective coatings for agricultural and industrial customers, though with a broader architectural focus.
• Flag Paints: UK-based independent manufacturer of marine, industrial, and specialist coatings with comparable scale and a similar DTC-plus-distributor model. Serves overlapping marine and agricultural customer segments.
• Coo-Var: UK-based independent manufacturer of marine, industrial, and agricultural paints, with a similar size, product breadth, and direct-to-customer distribution model — making it the closest like-for-like UK peer to Teamac.
