What Remmers does

Remmers is a German, family-owned manufacturer of construction chemicals, wood coatings, and industrial lacquers, headquartered in Löningen and operating under the legal name Remmers GmbH with the operating brand Remmers Gruppe. Founded in 1949, the company organizes its portfolio into three pillars: building protection (Bautenschutz), floor protection (Bodenschutz), and wood protection (Holzschutz). Its product range spans waterproofing systems (Multi-Baudicht 2K, fresh concrete composite systems such as WP Therm and WP FCCM), concrete protection and repair systems, facade protection (PFAS-free Funcosil hydrophobic creams), mold remediation, flat-roof solutions, heritage monument conservation products, industrial and consumer wood paints/lacquers/oils/stains, and industrial floor coating systems for parking decks, food industry, electronics, and agriculture. Notable proprietary offerings include the Remmers System Garantie (RSG) warranty platform, an interactive 3D Systemfinder specification tool, the Remmers Akademie training and certification program, and the in-house Bernhard Remmers Institut für Analytik (BRIfA) for analytical testing.

The company serves six primary customer segments — trade/craft professionals (Handwerk), industrial manufacturers (Industrie), architects and planners, investors/decision-makers, specialist trade (Fachhandel), and end consumers — and distributes through a hybrid go-to-market: dedicated enterprise field sales for industrial segments, RSG-certified specialist partner applicators, Fachhandel distribution, and online retail. Geographic operations span 21 countries with localization in 14 languages, predominantly across Europe, with brand-defining reference projects including the Notre-Dame de Paris restoration and the Chojnice train station heritage project (2024). Revenue is generated through one-time product sales across the broad SKU portfolio, supplemented by professional services revenue from Akademie training and BRIfA analytical services; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is led by Chairman and co-owner Dirk Sieverding, with senior leadership including an AI Officer (Artur Malon), R&D leadership for innovative sealants (Dr. Christiane Saalbach), and segment-specific sales directors covering prefabricated house industry, industrial lacquers, interior paints, and floor/concrete systems.
