EFApaint A/S history
Esbjerg Farve- & Lakfabrik A/S - EFApaint A/S - was founded by A. Lykke Thomsen in 1889. The company of A. Lykke Thomsen factory started in Esbjerg and later moved to the harbour, where the floor, varnish and wax production was. The company was later run by the founder's sons until, in 1937, control was transferred to the group of people who founded the limited company Esbjerg Farve-& Lakfabrik A/S.
The floor varnish was, in the first several years, the product EFApaint concentrated on. Then, however, the management decided in the mid-1960s that the company should also focus on becoming a supplier of industrial paint systems.
The basis for this was the agricultural machinery industry. Back then, buying paint in all agricultural machinery's original colours was impossible from one manufacturer. This situation was understood by the company's management to exploit because - as the first company in Denmark - released a colour card with original colours on all commonly used tractors and agricultural machinery in Denmark. This activity has evolved dramatically, so Esbjerg Paints today is the market leader in touch-up paint for farm machinery in Scandinavia.
In 2007 EFApaint bought FAXE A/S Hornbaek with a full range of woodcare products for the home and has since moved sales and production to Esbjerg. Today, our activities are concentrated on a wide range of products for industry, repair paints for professional use, and a full line of wood care products for private and professional service.
