These materials serve a vital role across several major industrial applications, including industrial, automotive, powder, and marine coatings, as well as polymers and adhesives.

“With VB Techno, we are expanding our product range in France to include proven inorganic fillers and pigments. This collaboration strengthens our market position, particularly in the construction, coatings, and polymer industries, and offers our customers new alternatives,” has stated Benjamin Delorme, Managing Director of Nordmann France.

VB Techno is fully backward-integrated with its own production facilities, building on more than 70 years of heritage in developing barium and zinc systems since its modern founding in 2010. The Swiss firm's manufacturing processes comply strictly with European quality standards and international regulations, ensuring consistent product quality.

Nordmann embodies precisely this proximity and understanding—which is why we greatly value this new partnership,” has added Francesco Cambria, Director at VB Technochemicals.
