A supplier to the wind energy industry since 1980, Hempel supplies high-performance protective coatings for all wind turbine components, from onshore towers and nacelles to offshore foundations and blades.
Hempel’s new logo, known as the Helix, symbolizes layers and motion of mixing coatings, while also being indicative of global interconnection. Overall the new identity has been designed to affirm Hempel’s position as an innovative, progressive partner in coating solutions.
The move to integrate all Hempel’s visual communications into one consistent style is further evidence of the company’s strategy to work and feel as “one Hempel,” offering customers trusted solutions that deliver the highest level of performance and efficiency. As business expands and absorbs new acquisitions and extends into new markets, the importance of one brand around the world becomes more significant.
Hempel is present in over 80 countries and delivers trusted solutions across the protective, decorative, marine, container and yacht markets, making it a true global powerhouse in the coatings industry.
Hempel Group President & CEO Pierre-Yves Jullien cites growing demand from customers for more integrated coating solutions as a major trigger behind the work.
“The last ten years have represented a transformation period and the nature of our business has changed dramatically,” he says. “The world in which we work has become more connected, and so we have pushed to consistently create value for customers by aligning our solutions and expertise across industries and regions. This is crucial if we are to continue to secure trust and loyalty, and drive greater efficiencies in the way we work.”

Malte V. Eggers, Head of Communications at Hempel A/S, agrees: “Our new brand reflects the confident, contemporary and diverse nature of our business, which is no longer defined solely by our marine heritage. Marine, yacht and container coatings continue to be core areas of our business. But we have grown dramatically within the protective industries while also building an impressive profile and presence in decorative coatings. Today, Hempel offers a comprehensive portfolio of trusted coating solutions.”
The Hempel Foundation, the company’s sole owner, will also adopt the new brand identity. This alignment will ensure absolute consistency across all of Hempel’s commercial, social and charitable initiatives.
The new identity was developed in collaboration with the design and innovation consultancy Dragon Rouge. It was launched as part of Hempel’s 100-year anniversary celebrations held at the Copenhagen Opera House on 4 July. Hempel will be rolling out the identity into specific marketing and communications materials from July 2015 into 2016.
