Technoflon

What Technoflon does

Technoflon Coating Systems B.V., a Dutch private limited company headquartered in Doetinchem near the German border and operating since 2000 (with coating-activity roots dating to 1993 at Intermeco B.V.), is a B2B contract coating-services provider that applies technical and decorative coatings to substrates including metals, glass, rubber, and carbon. The company operates four application technologies - fully and semi-automatic line coating, teachable robot application, manual application, and powder coating (with an integrated line for multi-layer systems plus a decoupled powder line) - and a comprehensive pre-treatment stack comprising blasting, thermal pre-cleaning, chemical cleaning, and plasma activation. Multi-coat systems can be deposited in a single automated step for appropriate substrates.

The firm serves three side-by-side business units. The Food segment supplies coatings for industrial bakeware, food-processing machine parts, confectionery and ice-cream moulds, displays, glassware, and knives, primarily addressing non-stick release, thermal cycling, and food-contact regulatory compliance (FDA, 1935/2004, GMP, HACCP). The Non-Food / Industrial segment coats machinery parts, automotive and rail components, welding guns, heat exchangers, extruders, and electrical-industry parts, solving for chemical resistance, high-temperature stability, corrosion protection, dry lubrication, and abrasion. The Decorative segment applies custom colour, metallic, wood-look, and corporate-logo finishes to consumer and industrial items. A PFAS-free product line has been developed in response to regulatory and buyer pressure from organic-food and EU customers.

Revenue is generated through project-based service fees for coating jobs - quote-based pricing determined by substrate, coating specification, geometry, and volume - with no public price list and no software or product subscription model. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: a multilingual (Dutch, English, German) website serves as a top-of-funnel presence, while direct phone and email engagement drives bottom-of-funnel conversions, supported by consultation from planning through trial production to series production. Customer care is delivered in-house from the single Doetinchem facility for both Dutch and international clients. The legal entity sits within the Freecrown Investment B.V. group, which also houses sister companies focused on metal, glass, rubber, and carbon processing.
