Alberdingk Boley Celebrates 250th Anniversary, Further Invests in U.S. Manufacturing Site
Alberdingk Boley, with roots dating back to 1772, celebrates its 250th anniversary. Headquartered in Krefeld, Germany, the Alberdingk group has become an international manufacturer of environmentally friendly water-based resins and oils with an ever-growing presence in the United States.
In 1970, Alberdingk started production of water-based acrylic dispersions that marked the beginning of the evolution from an oil mill to a manufacturer of emulsions. Fifteen years later, the privately owned company started to produce water-based polyurethane dispersions to broaden its application portfolio. In 1994, Alberdingk Boley launched the first PUD based on renewable resources using its captively produced feedstocks to ensure highest product quality and performance.
