Maler und Lackierer Innung

What Maler und Lackierer Innung does

The Maler und Lackierer Innung Region München is a Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts (public-law corporation) and regional craft guild serving painters and lacquerers, automotive painters, and sign/lighting manufacturers across five districts in Upper Bavaria. It was formed on January 1, 2025 through the merger of the Maler- und Lackierer-Innung München Stadt und Land with the Maler- und Lackierer-Innung Mühldorf/Altötting, and operates under the supervisory oversight of the Handwerkskammer für München und Oberbayern. The guild's core mission is to administer statutory vocational training and trade examinations (Gesellenprüfung and Meisterprüfung), deliver master preparation courses across all three trades, and provide industry representation, networking, and continuing education for member SMBs and apprentices.

The organization's service portfolio is anchored by the DIN EN ISO 9001:2015-certified Bildungszentrum für Farbtechnik und Raumgestaltung at Ungsteiner Straße 27 in Munich, which delivers a 10-month/600-hour Meistervorbereitungskurs for painters, a dedicated master preparation course for vehicle painters (incorporating SimSpray VR-based spray-paint simulation training), a 5-month/660-hour master preparation course for sign and lighting manufacturers, and a Leistungskurs excellence program for talented apprentices. Member services include an online training-company directory, accommodation facilities for out-of-town apprentices, and downloadable course materials. The guild supplements formal training with community events such as Azubi Tag (apprentice orientation), Freisprechungsfeier (journeyman certification ceremonies), and an annual Neujahrsempfang (over 150 attendees at the 2025 inaugural post-merger reception).

The business model is a hybrid of recurring membership dues from affiliated SMBs, professional-services fees for master preparation and continuing-education courses, and examination fees for journeyman and master certifications across three trades. Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven: participation in IHM, Berufsbildungsmessen, Munich Stadtgeburtstag, and regional print and social media (Instagram, TikTok) channels is used both for apprentice recruitment and to attract new member businesses. The organization is governed by Obermeister Andreas Romanow and, since May 1, 2025, Geschäftsführer Ricardo Schmidbauer, and is supported by 15+ Fördermitglieder (industry suppliers including Brillux, Sto, Caparol, Keim, Heinrich Schmid, SATA, MIRKA, MIPA, and AKZONOBEL) plus educational and welfare partners such as Berufsschule Mühldorf I, Schule für Farbe und Gestaltung Stuttgart, RIVEDIL, DAA, IKK Classic, and BG Bau.
