Our purpose is to empower companies to prosper and lead the transformation to a sustainable world. The Group consists of three wholly owned companies; Beckers – global market leader in coil coating and a leading supplier of industrial paints, Colart – world-leading art materials company that offers products and brands such as Winsor & Newton and Liquitex, used by millions of artists around the globe, Alex Begg – specialised manufacturer of luxury textiles as cashmere scarves, wraps, throws and luxury knitwear and one partly owned company (50 per cent) Höganäs – the world's largest producer of metal powder, which is used in a wide variety of applications from gearboxes and electric engines to refrigerators and heating equipment. We also devote time and resources to a number of strategic partnerships that support society at large and contribute to our long-term targets. This includes collaboration in the field of art, education and children's rights with organisations such as Färgfabriken, Beckers Art Award, Blekinge Institute of Technology and Global Child Forum.
