A small sting for a good cause
Donating blood saves lives! In emergency situations it is often necessary to fall back on blood reserves, so ensuring there is an adequate supply for the various blood groups is a top priority and can only be achieved through donations. As a group of companies, we want to make a contribution to this cause and get involved in helping other people.

OUR HISTORY - OUR MORE THAN 100 YEARS OF SUCCESS STORY
1921
2023
When the brothers Theodor and Wilhelm Schlau founded a paint wholesaling business in Minden in 1921, they probably could hardly have envisaged the long tradition. In 2022, the family company proudly looks back on more than 100 years of history, more than 100 years of the most up-to-date products and innovations. We will continue to build on that!
