The company

Marketing

Marketing follows the latest trends and developments in different sectors and translates these into concrete product concepts which play a key role in our customers' success. The Marketing department uses in-house creative, graphic design and DTP resources to produce a distinctive style for a brand, concept or product. SPS willingly shares its expertise with customers and proposes possible improvements in order to create the strongest possible designs or product concepts. Specialists and craftsmen in the sample-making department produce bespoke samples for displays, POS boards, presentation walls or complete showrooms.

Sales

The Sales department consists of specialised teams for the professional, DIY and industrial markets. Our compact and transparent organisation guarantees short lines of communication. We deliver what we promise, every time. We give our full commitment to every assignment and cooperate with customers in looking for the best solutions, ranges and choices to ensure the right price/quality balance in their market.

Our technical specialists provide advice and coordinate projects in the market in collaboration with distributors and users.

Training and workshops

We attach great importance to ensuring that our customers are properly informed about the products we supply. This simplifies the selection process and ensures that end-users receive the assistance they require without unnecessary complication. We organise training courses or workshops in order to increase the level of knowledge about our products, paint systems and application techniques. These courses are always given by suitable trainers who are fully qualified both technically and practically.

The trainer instructs the participants in the use of the materials in a hands-on setting. The participants are schooled in both traditional and modern application techniques. The participants are generally distributors, painters, plasterers, paint specialists and sales people from the professional and DIY sectors. Training courses can also be arranged on site.

R&D colour laboratory

Our experienced colour specialists create colour palettes and colour concepts for the professional market and also for the DIY sector. Together with the Marketing and Sales departments, and based on input from external trend-watchers, they closely monitor the most recent colour trends and anticipate future trends. New colours are verified, documented and managed in a colour database. At present, more than 35,000 colours are available.

R&D product development

In-house experts in the Research & Development Department develop and improve products based on feedback and/or specific requirements provided by professional users and on consumer demand. Innovative new products and optimised recipes are tested thoroughly for ease of application, water hardness, scrub-resistance, durability, etc. The products supplied by SPS comply in all aspects with current legislation and regulations.
