What is Decorative Europe?
In 2011, British based Crown Paints were acquired by The Hempel group, followed in 2018 by German company J.W. Ostendorf, which includes Renaulac – based in Bordeaux France – and FLT Handel service. This latest acquisition allowed for the formation of the Decorative Europe Region, headed up by Joe Devitt, Group Vice President.
