About KEIM
The company KEIM is based in Diedorf near Augsburg in Germany.
The development of innovative and even revolutionary products is visible throughout the long history of KEIM. Mineral paints by KEIM are a constant feature in architectural history of the 20th and 21st century.
KEIM mineral paints are considered synonymous with colour brilliance and unrivaled longevity. The working principle of their unequaled longevity has always remained the same up to today: the silicate binder waterglass forms an inseparable chemical bond with the mineral substrate during the chemical process of silicification.
KEIM's mineral paints have proved their quality in all climate zones across the globe. They are developed in Germany. The R&D department is constantly working on optimising and further developing the silicate technology. Highly-specialised developers pursue basic research on many topics relating to silicate structural protection systems. Cooperating closely with nearly all renowned specialist institutes and research laboratories in the area of colour technology is a matter of course for KEIM developers.
The mission of KEIM
"To produce the most durable, natural and healthy - simply the best paints in the world! We want to design people's living spaces in architecture and construction in an innovative, creative, resource-conserving and intergenerationally responsible way, thereby making our contribution to a more humane and ecological future."
The cornerstone of KEIM’s success story was laid when the craftsman and natural scientist Adolf Wilhelm Keim was granted the patent for the mineral paints he developed in 1878.
