We offer a very wide range of coating services<\/strong> based on different techniques and products. <\/span><\/p>\n

Our offerings have grown systematically and over the years. After 50 years, we are the point of contact for industrial customers at home and abroad<\/strong> for small, large and complex coating jobs. <\/span><\/p>\n

From our expertise in technical coating products and associated application techniques, we seek cost-effective total solutions for every project. Regardless of size or technical complexity.<\/span><\/p>\n

1968-1987<\/b><\/p>\n

In 1968, Walter Van Os founded the limited liability company “Van Os” in Bornem. After twenty years, Raf Van Os succeeded Walter, following his far too early death.<\/span><\/p>\n

1989<\/b><\/p>\n

Two years later, the joint-stock company “Duracoat” was founded and that same year an automatic powder coating line was installed.<\/span><\/p>\n

2018-2023<\/b><\/p>\n

In 2018, the paint shop celebrated its 50th anniversary. With Lakkerij Vandereyt, or V coat<\/a> from now on, together we offer the whole range of organic coatings, from wet coating over powder coatings to thermoplastic and even fluorine coatings. In 2021, there was the acquisition of Het Veer nv and i<\/span>n 2023, it was time for renewal. Van Os-Duracoat becomes Duracoat and gets a completely new website and corporate identity.<\/span><\/b>[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”See our history in detail” shape=”square” color=”default” align=”left” el_class=”btn” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fduracoat.be%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2023%2F08%2FGeschiedenis-tijdlijn-EN.png|title:Our%20code%20of%20conduct”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1671197237016{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”3893″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1688999000112{margin-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 80px !important;}” el_id=”values”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Corporate values” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:32px|text_align:center|color:%231f3973|line_height:44px” google_fonts=”font_family:Raleway%3A100%2C200%2C300%2Cregular%2C500%2C600%2C700%2C800%2C900|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][vc_separator color=”custom” border_width=”3″ el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#3695d3″ el_class=”seprtr”][vc_column_text el_class=”our-ser” css=”.vc_custom_1679585511865{margin-right: 10px !important;margin-left: 10px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
