Since 1878, Keimfarben has stood for the craft of colour “made in Germany”. As the world’s leading specialist in mineral-based building protection, Keimfarben offers the most durable paints and system solutions for façades and interiors on a purely mineral basis.
Brand & Profile

Keim has accompanied architectural history for almost 150 years. With his patent for the production of silicate paints, Adolf Wilhelm Keim set new standards in colour brilliance and longevity in the 19th century. Since then, Keimfarben has further developed silicate binder technology into a broad range of building protection products. Keim paints are used wherever the highest aesthetic and building-physics standards are required. Around the world, building owners, planners and craftspeople place their trust in the unique quality of Keim.

A strong international market presence is an essential component of Keim’s growth strategy. At its heart are a consistent commitment to the highest quality standards and an unrelenting capacity for innovation. These are the principles that guide the company in everything it does.
Sustainability is a central value in this regard: Keim mineral paints have always been based on natural raw materials, offering exceptional durability while conserving resources. The company consistently follows the principles of sustainable action — from the selection of raw materials, production and energy use through to its responsibility towards employees and society. International product certifications such as Cradle to Cradle, as well as the German Sustainability Award 2026, confirm this commitment.
