Corporate History

As often in life it was a coincidence that inspired Gerhard Hunkemöller in 1954 to develop a water-based floor sealant. He immediately recognized a gap in the market and founded the COELIT-SOCIETY, which was concerned with the production and distribution of floor impregnations from then on. Plastic coatings and repair mortars gradually extended the product range.

His son Paul Hunkemöller took over the company in 1963. These days were also the establishment of the ongoing co-operation with the BAYER AG as supplier for polyurethane raw materials, which still represents the basis for many of our high quality products.

The PU-foam processing became the main operating field of the company, so that it expanded to one of the most important processing plants for PU-foam in Germany. Changed market conditions, in particular the FCKW discussion, led 1987 to the decision to stop the PU-foam processing gradually. This was the birth of the different COELAN® societies. more...

The Paul Pietzschke company was founded by its namesake in 1889 at Hamburg, Northern Germany. From the very beginning this chemical and technical company has endeavoured to produced and market a line of high quality elastic sealants, coatings and lubricants for the ever growing global commercial marine market.

The Pietzschke line of products quickly established themselves by meeting the rigorous demands of the commercial ship building industry. As a result Pietzschke Supra Marine Glue soon became the default standard for the caulking of wooden deck joints. In addition the Pietzschke line of Launching Grease Products soon became known for their consistently reliable performance. These products are regularly ordered by numerous shipyards in Germany and abroad for the launchings of ships as well as the moving and re-location of large hull sections during the fabrication process.

Approximately forty years ago the company developed one of the first fully synthetic sealants for the yacht and shipbuilding industry. These became known as WKT Synthetic Sealing Compounds and even today they continue to set the standard for extraordinary elasticity and extreme durability. WKT has stood the test of time on a great number of ships including those of various European Navies and many well known cruise liners built by the Meyer Shipyard in Papenburg. Renowned vessels such as Aurora, Oriana, Radiance of the Seas, Super Star Virgo, and Norwegian Dawn are only a partial list of today’s ships using the Pietzschke line of marine products. more..
