history
The company, founded in 1968 by five Swiss chemical companies (Dold, Gremolith, Landolt, Mäder, Schoch), is a pioneer in the field of powder coating technology: The first powder coating used in Switzerland for industrial powder coating comes from IGP. The company has helped to determine the manufacturing process and further development of this technology and has contributed to the fact that powder-coated surfaces have found their way into many industries.
Founding years
After the company was founded in 1968, the first production site was set up in Bazenheid in 1969 , at that time as an interest group of 5 Swiss paint manufacturers. In 1972 IG Pulvertechnik Aktiengesellschaft was founded .
