Lechler Celebrates its Century Year in 2010
Thursday, 4 March 2010

Lechler specialises in the car refinish market through retail channels. Authorised Distributor outlets offer the professional end users a complete range of high quality products.

From 1910 to 2010, Lechler has formed a rich history filled with avant-garde ideas, overcome challenges, technological evolution and progression.

The Italian company was founded on the 24th February 1910 when Chr. Lechler & Figlio Successori in Ponte Chiasso acquired rights to the brand and became an “Italian paint and coatings factory”.

From humble beginnings, Lechler grew to what is now two production sites, four European subsidiaries, four brands, thousands of users located in more than 60 countries where their products have been distributed (including New Zealand). And now in its hundredth year (something which few companies can boast), the history which is appreciated everywhere in the world continues to grow.

Industrial Paint Solutions is the sole importer of Lechler products and can be contacted on (09) 274 4871.
