With an annual revenue of approximately 3.9 billion euros and about 10,700 employees, Surventis is one of the world's leading providers of automotive coatings and systems for surface pretreatment of components to be painted. The company is majority-owned by funds managed by the global investment firm Carlyle in partnership with the Qatar Investment Authority. However, BASF still holds a 40 percent stake in its former BASF Coatings. The identity of Surventis represents a company built on outstanding science, a continuous commitment to innovation, and the dynamism of independence. Surventis's clear aim is to shape the industry through technological excellence and close collaboration with its partners. The company's new website is now accessible at www.surventiscoatings.com, as further reported.

The World's Largest Paint Manufacturing Site is Münster (Germany)

Under its new name and brand identity, Surventis will continue its traditional operations to develop, produce, and market innovations for surface refinement, focusing on industrial, automotive, and refinish coating systems. The portfolio includes well-established brands such as Chemetall, Glasurit, and R-M. Backed by outstanding expertise and decades of trusted customer relationships, Surventis currently serves over 42,000 users in more than 140 countries through a network of over 30 production and development sites. The company's headquarters is in Münster (Germany), home to the world's largest integrated production site for coatings. As an independent company, Surventis now operates with greater speed, agility, and focus, it is stated. Carlyle will support the business with targeted investments in global expertise and local production.
