A Made in France production
All our LuminoKrom® photoluminescent paints are produced at our Pessac industrial site in France according to rigorous manufacturing processes and under the continuous supervision of our production control laboratory.
This 100% French know-how guarantees optimum quality at every stage, from development to delivery. Thanks to a team of experts and state-of-the-art equipment, we can guarantee the traceability and conformity of our products to the strictest standards.
By favoring Made in France production, we support French industry while reducing the environmental impact of projects taking place in France, particularly in terms of transport and carbon footprint.
- Industrial site in Pessac: In 2018, OliKrom is setting up a production site of over 1,600 m2, with an investment of over 5 million euros.
- Production capacity: OliKrom adapts to demand with mixing reactors ranging in capacity from 50 L to over 1000 L.
- Quality approach: OliKrom follows strict production control processes, guaranteeing ISO 17398-compliant products. This ensures luminance levels (class G) that provide 10 hours of visibility in the dark.
- Delivery times: The average delivery time for LuminoKrom® paint is 7 working days.
- Customer relations: OliKrom focuses on understanding the needs of its customers (local authorities, manufacturers, applicators) in order to provide services tailored to each stage of the project.
Large-scale modular production
In 2018, OliKrom invested over 5 Million Euros in modern industrial infrastructure in order to produce on a large scale while retaining flexibility for specific projects.
The LuminoKrom® range is now being mass-produced, notably for road signage applications. This range benefits from optimized processes enabling the production of large quantities of photoluminescent coatings used for safety in public infrastructures, such as road markings on bicycle paths and sidewalks.
Customized, adaptable production
OliKrom offers tailor-made solutions, and the production process is scalable to meet specific orders. This includes the ability to adjust formulations for a variety of applications (aerospace, road safety, automotive, etc.), producing both small and large volumes according to customer requirements. It also enables us to respond rapidly to requests while minimizing waste and energy consumption, with a view to sustainability.
Future expansion of our production site
With growing demand for their innovative solutions, OliKrom has announced a tripling of the surface area of its production plant. The modular approach and constant investment in R&D and process optimization mean that the plant can scale up without compromising product quality. In the coming months, the company will expand its current production site with the acquisition of the adjacent 4,500 m2 plot.
