Tradition and progress
“Success in colour” – this is the slogan that Meffert AG has chosen to celebrate its 70th anniversary in 2017. The specialist paint shop that Otto Meffert Snr. opened in the centre of Bad Kreuznach (Germany) in 1947 is considered the foundation stone of the modern Meffert AG Farbwerke. The company began producing its own paints in 1955, and today these quality German-made products are prized around the globe. Distribution locations in Europe and Asia ensure direct local sales and customer service.
Meffert AG also places a strong focus on responsible business practices. The production facility and warehouse are of the highest technical standard at all branches, and the company’s philosophy also includes sustainable business practices and consideration of environmental aspects in product development.
Meffert AG also pays particular attention to the responsible handling of another key resource: its staff.

DÜFA - THE BRAND WITH THE HEDGEHOG
Our düfa brand features a hedgehog and is known and loved around the world. The hedgehog is seen as a lovable and friendly creature that thrives in a healthy environment. This association has shaped the düfa brand and its visual identity from the very beginning. The brand logo reflects düfa’s focus on products that combine quality, functionality and user requirements. Emission-minimized paints and varnishes according to VdL-RL 01, a wide range of services and high durability are among the characteristics of the düfa product range. Like the hedgehog’s prickly coat, they represent the protection of surfaces.
The basis for düfa’s worldwide success is the company’s consistent focus on customers’ requirements and wishes. For example, we recognised at an early stage that water-based paints and varnishes would become increasingly important on the market. With düfa, we therefore put our faith in water-based paints and varnishes right from the outset. The continued importance of water-based paints and varnishes today underlines the long-term relevance of this decision.
