The Brazilian entity itself is small, with 21 disclosed employees and operations based in São Gonçalo, Rio de Janeiro, importing, exporting, and manufacturing Jotun's product portfolio for the Brazilian market under the global Jotun brand. Globally, Jotun's products are available in 100+ countries across all continents through a combination of direct enterprise sales and authorized dealer networks.

The company's product portfolio spans six business segments: marine coatings for shipping vessels (carriers, cargo, passenger services, supply vessels) including proprietary Hull Skating Solutions (HSS, launched 2020) and Hull Performance Solutions 2.0 (HPS 2.0), protective and powder coatings for energy facilities spanning offshore oil and gas, onshore petrochemicals, refining, and wind power, architectural and decorative coatings for buildings, furniture, and iconic bridges, infrastructure coatings for airports, civil works, ports, harbours, bridges, and buildings, powder coatings for light industry covering appliances, furniture, automotive components, and batteries, and decorative paints for residential interiors and exteriors. Seven named solution/brand franchises anchor the portfolio: HPS 2.0, Hull Skating Solutions, Green Building Solutions, Hardtop, Jotamastic, Jotachar (passive fire protection), and SteelMaster (intumescent steel protection). Technical differentiation rests on proprietary innovations including the 1976 Jotun Multicolor in-shop tinting system and the 2020 Hull Skating Solutions proactive cleaning technology with DNV-verified speed loss performance.

Revenue is generated through B2B enterprise field sales targeting shipping carriers, offshore and onshore energy operators, infrastructure project managers, and architectural specifiers, complemented by an authorized dealer network distributing decorative paints to SMB and consumer segments. Jotun achieved all-time high sales and earnings in 2025 and received EcoVadis Gold Medal sustainability certification for 2026, marking its centenary year. Pricing is project-based for industrial contracts and dealer-channel-based for consumer paint, with no public pricing disclosure.
