Our Approach

Full Analysis of Your Needs in Order To...

Achieving results for the most exacting manufacturers is all about understanding your aspirations, how your current systems work, and embarking on a journey together to develop a truly efficient coating process that exceeds your expectations — everything we do is aimed at increasing your productivity, profitability and performance.
Develop An Optimised Solution
There is no one-size-fits-all approach with Kortec, we gain a complete understanding of your product’s life cycle and the specific challenges you face. We then draw on our experience and extensive range of coatings to find you the optimal system.
Deliver Reliable Excellence
Once we’ve agreed our concept meets your criteria, we then test, evaluate and fine-tune our recommended solution until it delivers exactly what you need. All our technical support, production, delivery and client care operations are underpinned by our ISO9001 structure and procedures to ensure you receive consistent service excellence.

"Working alongside Kortec for the past two years has been a very smooth process. They have fantastic products and customer service, which allows our paint shop to be efficient and to produce the highest quality."

Simon Daker - Charles Yorke

Kortec’s service is second to none. From their technical know-how and delivery I really can't fault them. They have helped our business grow through the products they recommended. Our doors are manufactured with a variety of different substrates and are fitted into some challenging and harsh environments globally, Kortec supply paint to meet each and every case."

Chris Wood - Stafford Bridge Doors

"I have been in this trade for over 40 years and dealt with all the major paint suppliers. When Carl from Kortec told me he could guarantee colour matches my thoughts were, I have heard that before! I can honestly say he has been true to his word, and their continuity has been outstanding."

I've ben using kortec for a couple of years now, and been very pleased. Paul, my rep, is incredibly knowledgeable (the kind of knowledge that you get as an experienced spray finisher, not just from knowing the tech specs of your products) and has always been a great help. The office staff are always helpful and friendly, and are just generally very pleasant to deal with. I've never had a late/missed/wrong delivery and every colour match has been very good. Deliveries are always well packaged (from 5l tins to 25l drums, I've never had a severely damaged delivery, and mine come through a courier usually). All in all I couldn't be happier with the service I have received and the company should be very proud of the team as a whole, highly recommend.

I contacted Kortec after looking for an alternative way of manufacturing our table tops, and having issues with the reactivity of our current material. Paul came to visit to assess our requirements, and gave us a material to try, and was nothing short of helpful! We have ended up switching and reducing our time spent during the manufacturing process. Excellent service thank you all!

Amazing service and products. The team could not be any friendlier if they tried. We've been using Kortec for the last few years and can honestly say that they are one of the best companies I have had the pleasure of dealing with. From the warmth of Bex & Spencer on the phone to the advice from Paul & Reece, every aspect of client care is fantastic. - Zakk & Andy Crossland
