Material
In Europé are 8 larger groups represented in the area of Road Marking production. One is based in U.S.; one in Austria/Germany; one in France; one in Spain; one in U.K. and two in Scandinavia. These are all Multinational companies, active in whole Europe – often with sales representatives/offices and/or contracting activities. One thing most of these companies have in common is that they are your competitor [if you are a contractor].
In addition to these companies are a number of very good and experienced material producers; where the better ones are to be found in Germany (3); Greece (US owner); Ireland, Switzerland and Scandinavia.
