What Tol Coating B.V. does

Tol Coating B.V. is a Netherlands-based industrial surface treatment company headquartered at Voltastraat 6, Purmerend, operating from a single 4,500 m² facility that consolidates seven interconnected service lines: powder coating, shot blasting, metallizing (schooperen), chemical pre-treatment, chemical stripping, thermal stripping, and glass bead blasting. The firm was founded in 2018 by CEO Daan Tol at age 17 and remains part of the family-controlled Tol Groep holding; it employs 22 FTE as of 2024 and serves enterprise and mid-market customers across offshore, defense, construction, public infrastructure, agriculture, small metalwork, and FDA-regulated food and pharmaceutical verticals. Its technical positioning centers on a patented heating system (60% more efficient than conventional gas ovens), heat recovery systems, IE4 super-premium efficiency motors, PLC and frequency-controlled process automation, and the PRECOAT CPF chrome-free chemical pre-treatment — together enabling an energy- and waste-efficient, single-roof alternative to conventional job-shop coaters.

The business model is project-based and transactionally priced, with no disclosed recurring revenue stream: every engagement is quoted as a one-time service, with unit pricing varying by material type (steel, aluminium, stainless steel, galvanized steel), project dimensions, coating chemistry and colour (RAL palette with gloss and texture effects), and any required pre-treatment or stripping steps. Distribution is direct and sales-led, with Daan Tol personally prospecting enterprise accounts across the Netherlands, customers visiting the Purmerend facility for colour and technical consultation at the on-site Colourwall, and logistics executed on the company's own two-trailer fleet with planned geographic expansion into Belgium, the German border region, and northern Netherlands. The customer mix is diversified across roughly a dozen verticals with no single named anchor; notable 2024 commercial moves included the absorption of competitor Wegter Poedercoating's customer base (January 2024), the roll-out of the PRECOAT CPF technology (April 2024), and a new industrial shot blasting machine commissioned from KALTENBACH B.V. | GIETART (April 2024).

Revenue and ARR are not publicly disclosed, there are no external funding rounds in the data, and the company is privately held with operating control concentrated in the Tol family; the company self-describes as the Dutch market leader in surface treatments. The principal strategic question for outside capital is whether the patented process technology and one-roof service bundle can sustain a premium-priced regional roll-up against fragmented family-run competitors, or whether the absence of recurring contracted revenue and concentration in a single industrial estate will cap margin expansion at scale.

Core offering

Tol Coating B.V. provides industrial surface treatment services for metal and steel products from a 4,500 m² facility in Purmerend, Netherlands. Core services include powder coating, sandblasting (stralen), metallizing/schooperen, chemical pre-treatment, chemical stripping, thermal stripping, and glass bead blasting, typically combined in treatment pipelines for corrosion protection and decorative finishing. Supporting the core services, the company provides free quote-based project work, colour and technical advisory via an in-house Colourwall, and in-house logistics with two transport trailers.

Product overview

Tol Coating B.V. is an industrial surface treatment company offering a comprehensive suite of protective coating and surface preparation services from a single facility in Purmerend, Netherlands. The core offering consists of seven interconnected service lines: Poedercoaten (powder coating), Stralen (sandblasting), Schooperen/Metalliseren (metallizing), Chemisch Voorbehandelen (chemical pre-treatment), Chemisch Ontlakken (chemical stripping), Thermisch Ontlakken (thermal stripping), and Glasparelen (glass bead blasting). These services are typically combined in a treatment pipeline — for example, materials may be chemically pre-treated, then powder coated, or stripped thermally before being re-coated. Supporting the core services, the company provides Kleur- en Technisch Advies (color and technical advisory) with their Colourwall display for color selection. The company has invested in advanced technology including PRECOAT CPF (a chromium-free chemical pre-treatment) and maintains a modern, self-designed production line with patented heating systems that are 60% more efficient than conventional gas ovens.

Products and services

• Poedercoaten (Powder Coating) Electrostatic powder coating service that applies charged powder to metal surfaces and cures it in an oven to form a durable, corrosion-resistant finish. Suitable for RVS, aluminium, steel, galvanized steel, sendzimir, and brass for both indoor and outdoor applications.
• Stralen (Sandblasting) Surface preparation service using abrasive materials under high pressure to remove mill scale, old paint, rust and other contaminants, creating optimal roughness profile for coating adhesion. Costs depend on material type, contamination level, desired roughness profile and whether environmentally friendly methods are required.
• Schooperen / Metalliseren (Metallizing) Thermal spraying service that applies a zinc-aluminium alloy coating to metal surfaces for corrosion protection and enhanced durability in harsh weather or corrosive environments. Costs vary by material type and required zinc/aluminium coating thickness.
• Chemisch Voorbehandelen (Chemical Pre-treatment) Multi-stage chemical pre-treatment service including alkaline degreasing, pickling, rinsing, activation, and passivation that optimizes surface quality for steel, aluminium, RVS, and zinc products prior to coating.
• Chemisch Ontlakken (Chemical Stripping) Chemical stripping service that removes paint or coatings from metal surfaces by immersion in specialized chemical solutions. Safe for galvanized materials and aluminium as it does not damage the underlying substrate, allowing further treatment afterwards.
• Thermisch Ontlakken (Thermal Stripping) Heat-based coating removal service conducted in an oven where high temperatures cause paint or lacquer layers to burn away or soften for easy removal. Suitable for metal, plastic, glass, and ceramics.
• Glasparelen (Glass Bead Blasting) Fine surface treatment service using small glass beads propelled by compressed air to clean, smooth and provide a uniform matte finish on non-ferrous metals including RVS, aluminium, and copper.
• PRECOAT CPF Speciale Chemische Voorbehandeling Chromium-free chemical pre-treatment technology operating at room temperature, offering multi-metal compatibility, minimal sludge formation and corrosion protection up to 1000 hours NSS for aluminium and 720 hours NSS for steel.
• Kleur- en Technisch Advies (Color and Technical Advisory) Consultation service providing guidance on color selection and technical aspects of powder coating, featuring the company's in-house Colourwall display for color visualization and free quotes for projects.

Direct peers

• Muehlhan AG: German-listed surface treatment services company specializing in corrosion protection, coatings and surface preparation for maritime, offshore wind and industrial customers. Direct comparable to Tol Coating in service offering (blasting, coating, metallizing) and end-market focus (offshore and marine).
• Coatinc Holding GmbH: German market leader in surface finishing services, offering hot-dip galvanizing, powder coating and duplex systems to industrial customers across Europe. Direct comparable as a multi-site European contract coating service provider; structurally similar to Tol Coating's integrated surface treatment offering.

Broad incumbents

• Bodycote plc: UK-listed global provider of heat treatment and surface treatment services to industrial customers. While much larger and broader in scope (including heat treating, hot isostatic pressing), Bodycote's metal finishing and coatings services division is the closest large-scale analog to Tol Coating's outsourced surface treatment model serving aerospace, automotive and industrial customers.
• Jotun A/S: Norwegian global coatings manufacturer with leading marine and protective coatings franchises. Serves the same offshore, maritime and industrial customers Tol Coating serves, but as a coatings chemistry supplier rather than contract applicator.
• AkzoNobel N.V. Dutch global paints and coatings manufacturer and one of the largest powder coating chemistry suppliers worldwide. Adjacent rather than directly competing — AkzoNobel supplies coating materials Tol Coating applies — but represents the kind of integrated incumbent that could move into application services.
• Hempel A/S: Danish global coatings manufacturer with a strong marine, offshore and protective coatings portfolio. Overlaps with Tol Coating's customer base in offshore corrosion protection but operates as a coatings supplier rather than an applicator/service provider.
• Axalta Coating Systems Ltd. US-listed global coatings manufacturer with strong industrial and refinish coatings businesses. Comparable as a major powder and industrial coatings supplier with overlapping customer base in automotive wheels, industrial equipment and infrastructure applications.
• PPG Industries Inc. US-listed global paints and coatings manufacturer with major industrial and protective coatings operations. Adjacent comparability — PPG supplies powder and protective coatings Tol Coating would apply — and represents the scale of integrated coating supplier that could pressure smaller applicators.
