OWATROL THE BRAND, OUR STORY

1. MORE THAN 100 YEARS OF HISTORY

 

Owatrol, a unique brand that brings together several strong expertise since 1923.

The first comes from the United States with the creation of metal corrosion protection products.

The second, originating from Scandinavia, brings traditional mastery of wood protection and maintenance, especially in the marine environment.

This dual expertise has allowed the brand to develop products that have crossed generations, such as OWATROL® OIL(anticorrosion) or even to invent the now well-known term "saturator" with TEXTROL® for soft wood.

Thanks to the thousands of projects we have supported over the years, we have gained expertise.

 

2. STANDING THE TEST OF TIME

Wood and metal are frequently used outdoors for their unrivaled resistance. Whether it's for decks, cladding, cars, motorcycles, or boats, they make up and animate your daily environment.

However, their durability is threatened: exposed to rain, sun, and UV rays, wood and metal gradually lose their aesthetics and performance.

Fortunately, this deterioration is not inevitable! With suitable protection and maintenance, the quality of your materials can be easily preserved.

Enhancing your living environment so that you can enjoy it as on the first day is OWATROL®'s mission.

 

3. OUR COMMITMENTS

 

PASSION – EXPERTISE – QUALITY

4. BEYOND PRODUCTS

 

The R&D Laboratory works for today and tomorrow, implementing actions to advance on fundamental societal issues, particularly around our environmental responsibility (reduction of our carbon footprint, development of bio-based products, etc.).

Our teams seek the products of tomorrow and improve our existing products so that their environmental impact is as limited as possible while guaranteeing their performance.

The guiding principle is to make durable products for long lifespan and spaced maintenance.

OWATROL® incorporates vegetable oils into many formulations.

The real challenge that drives us every day is to increase the share of components derived from biomass while further improving product efficiency.

In March 2019, we joined the Association of Plant Chemistry to exchange and find solutions to environmental issues in our sector, and on this basis, we collaborate on many research projects.

 

 

International Presence, present in 40 countries, we aim to provide local service to our customers.

5. EFFICIENCY AND TECHNOLOGY

 

OWATROL® equipped itself in November 2019 with an ultra-innovative and high-performance robotic logistics infrastructure,  to respond in the most efficient way possible to customers and partners.

 

This unique solution allows:

Time savings (elimination of back and forth in picking areas).

Energy consumption savings (fewer carts in circulation and creation of low-light areas).

Increased safety (fewer movements, fewer risks of shocks and accidents).

Improved stock management (simplified inventory, better product traceability, fewer losses and breakages).

 

6. STRONG PARTNERSHIPS

 

OWATROL® places humans at the center of its concerns, and we provide special support to passionate partners who have the passion and willingness to maintain their supports and tools.
