Successful Partnership of modern Scandic kitchens

Teknos has led a groundbreaking collaboration to revolutionize kitchen aesthetics and functionality for Epoq Kitchens, utilizing the innovative UV and LED curable TEKNOLUX AQUA 1728 coatings. This project brought together four key parties: Teknos as the paint supplier and technical service, a specialized color tinting Colorcoat AB, kitchen manufacturer Horreds Möbler, and Epoq - a kitchen brand owned by Elkjøp. Together, they combined their unique strengths to meet the ambitious project goals.

The collaboration led to a significant enhancement of kitchen product aesthetics, introducing a palette of 28 distinct and durable colors. This achievement realized through close cooperation with Colorcoat AB, greatly broadened the appeal of Epoq's varied product range.
