Kansai Helios Italy and Weilburger Coatings Italia strengthen cooperation

After Kansai Helios announced the successful acquisition of Weilburger Coatings in May 2024, Weilburger Coatings Italia and Kansai Helios Italy began to identify and exploit initial synergies.
The strategic integration of Kansai Helios Italy and Weilburger Coatings Italia not only expands production capacity in Italy, but also strengthens Kansai Helios' position as a system supplier in the market. With local production of both industrial powder and liquid coatings, the company's expertise and service offering is now stronger than ever. In addition, the strategic locations of the production units and the expanded storage facilities in Bergamo ensure greater flexibility and more efficient supply chains. From now on, Kansai Helios Italy and Weilburger Coatings Italia will combine their competencies and strengths to serve the Italian market with a unified approach. In recent years, Kansai Helios Italy has experienced significant growth through strategic investments and continuous improvements at its powder coating production sites in Riese Pio X (Treviso) and Tezze sul Brenta (Vicenza). The company expanded its production capacity with new production lines and the modernization of existing facilities with state-of-the-art equipment. Advanced systems are being introduced to enable paperless production and full product traceability, increasing efficiency and sustainability. With a focus on innovation and sustainability, Kansai Helios Italy is developing new products such as low-temperature curing powders and formulations containing recycled or natural raw materials.
Weilburger Coatings Italia has also made strategic investments and continuous improvements in recent years. The company specializes in industrial liquid coatings and operates a state-of-the-art production facility in Sotto Il Monte, Bergamo. The company is focusing on expanding its infrastructure with projects such as the construction of new warehouses that improve both storage and logistics capacity. This expansion supports the strategic goal of serving various industries, including household goods, ovens and heaters, rail vehicles, the eyewear industry, small parts and zippers, aluminum packaging and tapes and foils. With the acquisition of Weilburger Coatings Italia, Kansai Helios is significantly expanding its presence in Italy. The strategic alignment of the two companies will not only expand Kansai Helios' presence in Italy, but also increase its production capacities and, above all, strengthen its position as a system supplier. With two central sites, Kansai Helios now offers a comprehensive range of industrial coatings: the Bergamo site for liquid coatings and the Treviso and Vicenza sites for powder coatings, architectural coatings and automotive refinishes.
