Verband der deutschen Lack-und Druckfarbenindustrie e.V.

Verband der deutschen Lack-und Druckfarbenindustrie e.V., known as VdL, is a voluntary organization representing manufacturers of paints, coatings, and printing inks in Germany. The association advocates for the economic and social interests of the German color industry and domestic subsidiaries of foreign manufacturers, engaging with various sectors including policy, authorities, academia, and media.

Founded in 1900, VdL has a significant presence, accounting for 85% of the German paint, coatings, and printing ink market. With over 200 member companies, the organization's structure is diverse, including a mix of predominantly large, multinational corporations and numerous medium-sized manufacturers, many of which are family-owned.

The absence of recent investment details indicates a stable financial position for VdL, and its headquarters in Germany further reinforces its stronghold in the national market.
