Colors, stories and Swiss precision.<\/h1>\n

The feature in Schweizer Familie<\/em> takes you into the world of Monopol Colors. It shows the people, technologies and stories behind a Swiss paint factory that has been developing shades for architecture and industry since 1947.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the Color Lab in Fislisbach, new shades are created every day. Architects and clients mix individual shades together with the on-site specialists. Justin Gawlowski, a painter, monitors the mixing plant “Matrix” and ensures that paints are filled in the correct quantity and quality to an accuracy of 0.2 grams.<\/p>\n

Dominique Blumer, a technical sales advisor, beautifies and protects surfaces and buildings with coatings and corrosion protection systems. For him, colour means joy and creativity, even though at home everything remains intentionally understated.<\/p>\n
