The Corsain company, specializing in the manufacture of paints, is for sale, almost acquired from a large group. But employment in Maroeuil through this buyout clearly seems threatened in the short term. With the help of Antonio Molina, some employees and the mayor of the village are mobilizing for a buyout that will secure employment. Its objective will be not to dismantle Corsain, but above all to give it as quickly as possible a national dimension to exist, then European, then international. To do this, Antonio Molina decided to rely on the development of products with a high technological content, hence the takeover of Bolloré Jival (industrial paints especially intended for the Aviation market) in 1996, then of Soritec-Corsolac (paints for Plastics and General Industry) in 1999. Acquisitions continued, but 2000 marked a decisive step in development with the acquisition of the Swiss group Mäder: a group specializing in environmentally friendly paints and resins with a high technological content. For fifteen years, the group's activities will focus on three areas: resins, paints and services. International expansion continues, in particular through the formation of partnerships as well as the creation of subsidiaries and production sites: the primary objective being to optimize marketing, production and research activities. Since then, the growth of the Mäder Group has been organized around certain inalienable principles: Rapid growth, proactive, controlled and respectful of cultural and social values. External growth capable of ensuring constant synergy between integrated companies and existing companies. Balanced growth between the various historic countries, which have become the foundations of international development. Organic growth largely supported by technological products in niche markets with high added value and perfectly managed by the sales teams . © 2010 Mäder - All rights reserved sitemap - legal notices - credits History and values A story Our values Our ambitions Mäder news Key dates and figures Mäder in the world Mäder innovates Mäder Cares about nature Industrial paints Railway Automotive General Industry and Specialties Our services Mäder in the world Mäder innovates Mäder Cares about nature Decorative paints General public Building Materials trading Our services Mäder in the world Mäder innovates Mäder Cares about nature Composites Resins and gelcoats Special composite coatings Our services Mäder in the world Mäder innovates Mäder Cares about nature Mäder websites Documentation Recruitment Write us
