Duthoo partner of Stalufor

Duthoo is a household name in our industry. So we as Stalufor are extremely proud and pleased to be able to call ourselves Duthoo's partner in the Netherlands since August 2019. We initially started selling the Duthoo hydrocoat program. At the end of 2019, we started using our spray booth, an essential part of the Duthoo concept. It can be used to paint all types of building hardware, other aluminum products and profiles, as well as to repair damage. In cooperation with Duthoo, we are thus able to translate the powder coatings of leading brands such as Akzo Nobel, Axalta and Tiger into a wet paint for the spray booth.

Duthoo calls on specialists worldwide to handle the global distribution of its hydrocoat program. To qualify as a partner, you must have extensive experience in the aluminum industry. With 25 years of experience on board, Stalufor met this requirement. We are therefore delighted to be allowed to carry out distribution in the Netherlands.

According to Vincent Duthoo, director-owner of Duthoo Coating Concept, they were looking for a partner with the necessary know-how. "The final application of our products largely determines the final color and gloss level," he explains. "Therefore, it is important that our partners are knowledgeable and can translate this knowledge to the end customer. Duthoo and Stalufor embrace the same philosophy: listening carefully to the customer's demand and then providing the most technologically appropriate solution."
