In 1997 a significant investment was made in a state-of-the-art research and development laboratory which has enabled Steyport to remain at the forefront of technical innovations in the coatings industry.
A major innovation in the coatings industry, has been the move away from the use of toxic flammable materials, to more environmentally friendly water-based products.
Steyport was a central player in the wallcoverings industry’s move to waterbased production in the late 1980s.
Steyport continues to invest technical resources in promoting waterbased technologies and has an in-depth knowledge of aqueous coatings systems.
As a manufacturer, Steyport takes its environmental responsibilities very seriously. In 1997 our factory was purpose built to meet all environmental requirements. Investments continue to be made to ensure that all processes are fully compliant with all up-to-the-minute legislation.
All wastewater and air is cleaned and purified before being returned to the environment.
