When you come to work at Hempel, you’re part of a global family - whatever your location, department or role. A family that’s trusted to make a difference and encouraged to challenge themselves every day. We speak many languages and come from diverse backgrounds. But we’re all part of the Hempel family. We’re driven to succeed and thrive on innovation – and are united by a desire to paint our world stronger, safer and longer lasting.

"When I started, I spoke to someone who had worked here before and she said, ‘Hempel has over 6,000 people, but you feel like you know 1,000 of them by name.’ I’ve found it’s true."

Dorothy Hoei, Compliance Officer Competition Law at Hempel

To work at Hempel is to put yourself at the centre of a business that is dedicated to making a difference. We are wholly owned by the Hempel Foundation, which in addition to providing us with a solid financial base, supports a wide range of philanthropic activities including sustaining biodiversity, sustainable coatings science and empowering children living in poverty through education. Hempel has identified five of the UN sustainability goals on which to concentrate, ensuring that sustainability and responsibility are prioritised throughout the whole Hempel organisation. And we help our customers to minimise their own impact too, by developing coatings that create efficiency and reduce emissions.
