Looking Ahead

The partnership between Symphony Coatings Group and Anker Stuy Coatings represents a shared vision: empowering professionals with best-in-class solutions that improve results, reduce environmental impact, and streamline production processes.

This partnership signifies more than an expansion of the product portfolio- it introduces a complete solution for professionals working with exterior joinery, Accoya timber, cladding, and more. Symphony Coatings Group is initially launching with the cutting-edge Anker Stuy Hydrolux range, a high-performance, water-based paint system for exterior wood, built on Tri-Cryl® technology. It offers exceptional durability, UV resistance, and low water absorption, ensuring long-lasting protection and a maintained aesthetic for various timber types. Designed for industrial use, the comprehensive system includes primers, and topcoats, all known for fast drying times and excellent application properties. KOMO certified, Hydrolux guarantees stringent quality and extended maintenance-free periods, available in a wide range of colours and finishes.

The introduction of these products enhances Symphony Coatings Groups’ ability to support customers with high-quality, technically supported coating systems, particularly in the exterior coatings and joinery sectors. It ensures a more comprehensive, future-focused offering tailored to the demands of modern wood protection.

Renowned for their expertise in sustainable water-based products, Anker Stuy brings over a century of coating innovation, particularly in exterior wood protection. The partnership represents a natural alignment between two industry leaders who share a commitment to quality, service, and technical excellence.
