HEMPEL

In July 1915, Jørgen Christian Hempel became Denmark's youngest licensed wholesaler when he established Hempel's Marine Paints. Nearly 100 years later, Hempel is one of the largest coatings suppliers in the world... We are very excited and proud to be the National distributor for Hempel Yacht and Boat Paint. We believe that this is the most complete range of marine coatings and boat care products available in New Zealand... As J.C. Hempel's business grew, so did his pioneering spirit. In 1917, he worked with the Danish Institute of Technology (DTI) to develop the world's first antifouling coating for ships' hulls. Today, Hempel leads the world in antifouling and fouling release technology, and its relationship with DTI is still strong.
