On August 1, our new apprentices and dual students embarked on their professional journey with us at our Wesel site in Germany. We are delighted to welcome a new generation of talented apprentices and dual students who are beginning their careers with us across commercial, laboratory, production, and IT roles.

Our Welcome Day provided an opportunity to get to know one another, gain insights into our company, and lay the foundation for a successful apprenticeship and study experience.

Christine Thannheiser-Rumpf, Head of Training and Development: „ Welcoming new apprentices is always something special. It is inspiring to see how curiosity and first impressions gradually develop into expertise, experience, and self-confidence. We are excited to support our new apprentices and dual students on this journey and help them grow both professionally and personally.“

We wish everyone a successful start, exciting insights, and many rewarding experiences in the years ahead.

In mid-July, B*K held an inauguration ceremony for its new laboratory facilities at the South China New Material Industrial Park in Guangzhou. This investment allows B*K to further expand its technical service capabilities in southern China and strengthen its support for local customers by providing application-specific expertise.

The laboratory space has grown from 150 m² to 280 m² and is equipped with a wide range of instruments for testing various coating systems. The range of services will gradually expand to include additional application areas, such as adhesives, printing inks, and materials for new energy materials. Currently, the laboratory supports testing of water-based, solvent-based, and 100% systems, as well as analyses in the areas of leveling, rheology, dispersion, and defoaming.

Wei Jiang, Head of Sales and Key Account Management Paint Additives in China, Evan Wu, Director of B*K Asia, and Gang Fei, Business Line Manager Paint Additives in China, joined the inauguration ceremony and celebrated this important milestone together with the team. We would like to thank everyone involved in making this new laboratory a reality and look forward to the opportunities it will bring for our customers and our team in southern China.

The B*K Cycling Team was recently honored at Wesel City Hall as the most successful company in the 2026 City Cycling campaign. 🙌 

City Cycling in Wesel, Germany, is a three-week, nationwide campaign organized by the Climate Alliance, in which teams aim to cover as many everyday trips as possible by bicycle. Whether on the way to work, on a weekend trip or even on vacation — every single ride contributed to this fantastic team result of 24,289 km.

On behalf of the B*K Cycling Team, representatives of the team accepted the Gold Award from Mayor Rainer Benien - Dein Bürgermeister für Wesel. As in previous years, the prize money will be donated to a charitable cause.

Congratulations and a big thank you to all our colleagues whose dedication contributed to this shared success!

We are thrilled to receive this special recognition in the personal care sector. Our additive, PURAB*K-W 5560 BOOST, was honored at the Ringier Personal Care Awards.

Lydia Guo, our End Use Manager for Care Applications in China, accepted the award during the ceremony. This honor confirms a trend that is increasingly shaping the cosmetics industry. Today’s formulations must be high-performing and meet stringent sustainability and naturalness requirements.

PURAB*K-W 5560 BOOST meets these requirements precisely. This natural, rapeseed-based wax powder enhances soft-focus effects in makeup products, improves sunscreen performance, and provides a pleasant texture and mattifying properties.

As a vegan product that complies with COSMOS and NATRUE standards, PURAB*K-W 5560 BOOST opens up a wide range of possibilities for modern sunscreen and makeup applications.

Thank you to the jury for this special award and to all our colleagues who contributed to this success.

How does a coating line protect large agricultural machines from corrosion? 🤔 Our Paint Lab Assistant apprentices had the opportunity to find out during an excursion to LEMKEN in Alpen, Germany.

Seeing a fully automated coating line in action gave our apprentices a completely new perspective. Many of the processes they know from the lab and their training, such as pretreatment, cathodic electro deposition coating, quality control, and corrosion testing, suddenly became tangible on an industrial scale. They were particularly impressed by the precision of the processes, the sustainable wastewater treatment, and the seamless integration of quality assurance throughout production.

The visit was a valuable opportunity to connect theory with practice and gain a deeper understanding of their future profession as Paint Lab Assistant.

A big thank you to LEMKEN for the warm welcome and the fascinating insights into their production and coating processes!
