Green kitchens in any color

Largest kitchen manufacturer in the Netherlands

The Bruynzeel kitchen: impossible to imagine many Dutch households without since the 1930s. DKG, the parent company of Bruynzeel Keukens and Keller Keukens, is therefore the largest kitchen manufacturer in the Netherlands. About 100,000 kitchens are produced each year in the Bergen op Zoom factory in an extremely sustainable manner. This involves the use of water-based UV lacquer from the Austrian paint and lacquer manufacturer ADLER.

Optimal protection

Around 5,000 parts are painted every week in the modern paint shop, most of them in the fully automated uv-painting plant. Here customers can choose from about 2,000 different standard and special color tones. For colored surfaces, DKG uses the water-based uv coating Pigmolux HQ from ADLER. It offers high mechanical and chemical resistance, so that even surfaces that have to endure quite a lot are optimally protected. The coating also scores points for its rapid cross-linking and excellent adhesion - even on aluminum handles, which can be painted in the same color tone as the kitchen. For the transparent finishing of oak, DKG uses ADLER's colorless Multilux system.

Delivered within one day

In cooperation with ADLER, DKG's lacquering department has optimized the lacquering process to ensure high surface quality and efficient production. All color tones can be made directly at ADLER Benelux in Heeze and delivered within one day. The paint installation and the coatings are perfectly matched, ensuring short lead times. For consistent surface quality, temperature and humidity are automatically regulated in the paint room. 

Sustainable

"At DKG, we set the bar very high when it comes to sustainability, and we demand the same from our suppliers," emphasizes Jos Wennekes, Purchasing Manager at DKG. ADLER's uv coatings contain no harmful ingredients, have an extremely low VOC content and are produced in a climate- and resource-friendly way. This makes the coatings the perfect finish for DKG's kitchens: in any color, but always completely green.
