110 years of Scholz that is a whole century of customer orientation and innovation. Right from the beginning Scholz has been concentrating on meeting the requirements of even most challenging customers thoroughly by innovative products.

Thus, the history of company Scholz is also part of the European history of industry in which colour became more and more important. The development of markets is also decisive for the growth of Scholz. Very early Scholz recognised that proximity to customers is an important advantage in competition.

With locations all over the world Scholz believed in a globalisation of world economy already decades ago.

An important milestone in the history of the company was the strategic alliance with Bayer AG soon after the First World War, at a time when the term 'strategic alliance' even didn't exist at all.

We always look ahead.

Also in future company Scholz will consequently continue the strategy of ensured product quality together with direct and personal customer care.

Beside development and research as well as market orientation, everlasting satisfied customers will be the main focus of our business every day.

We will retain the flexible and market orientated leadership of our medium-sized family-run company. This especially was a benefit for our customers in respect to the cooperation with a big corporate group, which we wish to last in future.

In times of more and more anonymous and complex commercial relations, we are proud to run the company even in the 4th generation as a family business. During our more than 110-year history, we have not only experienced an impressive development from a small pigment trader to a global supplier of high-quality pigments and pigment preparations but also survived serious global economic crises. This success was only possible due to the high demands we have placed on the quality of our products, services and workforce.

Now, we operate in Germany from our headquarters in Recklinghausen and our second production site in Partenstein. Our subsidiaries, Scholz Benelux BV and Scholz Switzerland, guarantee proximity to our customers in Benelux and Switzerland.
