Welcome, Oliver Esser

«Who creates the finest color shading? Who paints most colorfully? Who shines the brightest? Naturally Mother Nature – who else?» says Oliver Esser. He is taking over as Technical Head at Monopol Colors from September 1, 2019.

He replaces Tim Kröger who is leaving us to take on a new challenge. Thank you, Tim, for your valuable efforts during your years with us. Your flair for innovation helped us considerably along the path to becoming the Center of Excellence for Paints!
