Olesen Helle Fiedler Elected by the employees Mark Terrell Sutton Elected by the employees Maria Gomis Elected by the employees Our heritage Hempel has been protecting assets for over 100 years. It was established in 1915 by J.C. Hempel in Copenhagen, Denmark. He was just 21 years of age at the time and had just DKK 300 in his pocket, but his idea to sell ready-mixed marine paints would go on to revolutionise the Danish marine industry. J.C. Hempel delivered the first order himself, riding along on his bicycle with the cans of paint dangling from the handlebars. J.C. Hempel led our company for over 70 years. His belief that it’s “the will to want that creates the skill to do” remains at the core of our company today. He also believed a company’s greatest asset was its people. Despite global growth, we remain a small company at heart, where colleagues are valued and looked after.
