The company
Fifty years, one address
One factory on the Stadskanaal. Everything we sell is made there.
Hofman Verf started in 1975 supplying marine paint to the shipyards of Groningen. What we learned there — paint has to perform on wet steel, in the wind, year after year — is still in every formulation we release.
We have held a Royal Warrant since 1987. We supply the maintenance paint for the Royal palaces: façades, window frames, railings and interior finishes, in colours recorded per building in our archive.
