Known for its iconic Scarlet Macaw logo (celebrating 100 years in 2025), Glasurit is a global leader in color accuracy, sustainability, and refinishing innovation, with more OEM approvals than any other refinish brand and the world's largest color database. Glasurit's flagship product is the 100 Line — the industry's most advanced waterborne basecoat with VOC <250 g/l (40% below legal limits), up to 40% shorter process times, and 100% digital color accuracy. The 90 Line is the European market-leading waterborne system since 1992. The 68 Line serves commercial vehicles. Glasurit supports bodyshops through the Refinity digital platform, ColorMotion customer network, Refinish Competence Centers (including the state-of-the-art facility in Münster), and the Classic Car Colors service in partnership with FIVA.
