Bruchsaler Farbenfabrik

The company Bruchsaler Farbenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG was founded in 1896 as a lacquer and paint wholesaler, under the name “Gebrüder Katzauer”, in the city of Bruchsal.

At the start the company produced supplies such as brushes and paints which were sold to local craftsman. A few year later they began the production of window putty and various lime-based products. This marked the start of our own manufacturing operations.

At the beginning of the 20th century the Katzauer family acquired a 20-hectare site on the then outskirts of Bruchsal, upon which the foundation the chemical production of pigments was built.

New production halls for the production of chromate pigments, organic and iron cyan pigments were built to the most modern standards of the time. This established Bruchsaler Farben as an important global supplier of pigments.
