                                            At Kluthe, we study the interaction between coatings and pretreatment in real-world applications. This paves the way for strong adhesion, effective corrosion protection, and reliable processes. Learn more at PaintExpo 2026 in Karlsruhe.

                  One product won&#039;t cut it. It&#039;s the whole process that counts.        At Kluthe, we test how pre-treatment and paint systems perform under real production conditions — laying the groundwork for adhesion, corrosion protection, and consistent results. Because quality that holds up on the shop floor comes from the whole process, not just one part of it.        We look forward to discussing these topics with you in person at PaintExpo 2026.

                  What does it take for surface treatment solutions to perform well in the field?        Above all, proximity to the application. That&#039;s why we operate one of the best-equipped technology centers in surface finishing — developing and testing under conditions that reflect real production environments.        We continuously invest in our equipment: from the BVL pre-treatment system, Dürr paint application robots to the J1 machining center from LMW. This allows us to replicate real processes accurately and tailor solutions to specific quality requirements.        If you&#039;d like to find out more, we&#039;d love to connect with you at the PaintExpo 2026.

                  Great solutions don&#039;t start in a brochure. They start with a conversation.        This philosophy has guided our work for over 75 years. Markets evolve, processes become more demanding, and expectations continue to rise. This makes it even more important to listen closely, understand each application and workflow, and develop solutions that stand up to the daily grind of production.        That is exactly why  PaintExpo 2026  matters to us. It is where we have conversations about real-world challenges, technical requirements, and what needs to work on the shop floor.        Over the next few weeks, we will share insights on LinkedIn about the topics that will define our presence at the show. Our focus will be on application expertise, tailored solutions, close customer collaboration, and the technical know-how behind it all.        Visit us at PaintExpo 2026 in Karlsruhe. We look forward to meeting you and talking with you in person.        April 14–17, 2026 | Messe Karlsruhe

                  Keeping resources in circulation        Recycling is a key lever for a sustainable industry. Our subsidiary Rematec GmbH contributes by efficiently recycling solvents and paint sludge and returning avoidable waste materials back into the economic cycle.        The impact is measurable:     In 2025,  53,157 tonnes of&amp;nbsp;CO₂e  were saved compared to the production of chemicals from virgin materials.        This means:     - Conservation of valuable resources     - Support of closed-loop material cycles     - An active contribution to climate protection        This commitment is also recognized externally: In the latest NQC SAQ Assessment, Rematec achieved 82 points, significantly above the industry average of 67 points.

  Higher quality expectations. Tougher safety standards.   Stricter   sustainability goals.  And zero tolerance for process instability.  
  How do you bring it all together?  
  By rethinking pretreatment from the ground up.  
  Partnering early in the design of a new paint shop,   Kluthe   worked side by side with a leading tractor manufacturer to develop a solution built for modern production — efficient, automated, and engineered for long-term corrosion protection.  
   The outcome: more performance with fewer resources.   
 
  Durable, high-level corrosion protection without the drawbacks of traditional systems  
  Less chemistry, less sludge, lower energy use  
  Automated, stable processes that deliver consistent quality  
  Thin-film technology instead of zinc phosphating — heavy-metal-free, cleaner, and optimized for paint adhesion  
 
   Smarter chemistry. Leaner processes. Built to last.
