With its Scandinavian roots reaching back more than two hundred years, Sadolin has undergone many changes. but what has remained at its core throughout is a commitment to quality and passion for timber - attributes which have made Sadolin one of the world’s foremost specialists in woodcare.

Now sold in 97 countries, Sadolin has a diverse, global knowledge of wood and a respect for nature – which has seen the development of initiatives such as its partnership with climate change business Carbon Neutral.

The story of this now multi-national company started in Denmark in 1777, when Jacob Holmblad was granted royal permission to establish a textile dye works. Future generations continued to evolve the works and at the time of Jacob’s great grandson’s deaths, a thriving paint and varnish business had been established.

The second half of Sadolin’s heritage again began in Denmark, where in 1907 Gunnar A. Sadolin – inspired by the fresh colours of Egyptian antiquities – started producing wax colours.

Just five years later – the rich-in-tradition Holmblad met the young and experimental Sadolin – and the future of the company was secured. That same combination of heritage and innovation is still at the heart of our business today.
