Company History

 

2002:

Subject merges with Corob when the latter is one of the leading manufacturers of dispensing and mixing equipment in the world. The new company provides a complete offering of CPSCOLOR™ colorants, COROB™ dispensing and mixing equipment, software, colour marketing tools and services and becomes a quality supplier of postponed colour production systems.

 

2000:

Industri Kapital acquires Tikkurila CPS and Winter-Bouts and renames the company into subject. This move makes the new company the worldwide market leader in the tinting industry outside the USA. Swisslog acquires the remaining 50% of the Corob Group, becoming the sole share holder.  In this same year, offices in Singapore, the United Kingdom, Russia, the Dominican Republic and a factory in China are established. By buying Akzo Nobel Decorative Coatings' Sneek plant, subject is able to lift its partnership with Akzo to a higher level.

 

1998:

Swisslog Management AG, an international holding company, acquires 50% of the Corob Group shares. As part of the agreement, Corob Oy in Ulvila-Finland becomes part of the Corob Group. Winter-Bouts in South Africa moves to new facilities in Johannesburg.

 

1997:

Corob is acquired by the Tikkurila Paints part of the Kemira group and moves to new facilities in San Felice, Italy. New colorant plant in Finland.

Winter-Bouts builds a new plant in Sittard and starts producing colorants in South-Africa. The Dutch factory has the largest capacity of all colorant plants outside the USA. Tikkurila CPS opens a new office in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

 

1994:

In line with COROB's philosophy "think global act local"  Corob North America, Inc. is founded in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA and Corob Ltd. in Hong Kong.

 

1991:

Corob Sud America s.a. is founded in Montevideo, Uruguay as a sales/service and assembly support for the whole of Latin America.

 

1990:

Tikkurila wants to focus more on tinting. Tikkurila CPS is established as a separate entity. Tikkurila buys 100% of Winter-Bouts B.V. and Lohja-Winter, which has an excellent reputation, especially in the decorative market.

 

1986:

Lohja-Winter from Finland buys 50% of the shares of Bouts B.V. and the name is changed into Winter-Bouts B.V. Tikkurila opens several foreign units (a.o. unit in Dordrecht, Netherlands). Corob faces the first big challenge when it becomes the dispensing equipment supplier of ICI Paints UK.

 

1984:  

Establishment of Corob in San Felice, Italy. This automatic dispensing machine adventure lays the foundation for the technologically advanced company it is today.

1981:
