Working at Hempel

As a family we go further
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."
Thinking beyond borders
Whilst we are proud of our Danish origins, Hempel has always worked across borders and across seas. Today, we are a truly global business with operations and offices across Europe, Asia and America. And we continue to grow. Our products and services vary according to local market needs, but we are one global Hempel family. Which is why we encourage collaboration across countries and ensure that our people are able to experience the benefits of an international working environment.
"I interact everyday with people, customers and colleagues from all around the world – and it all adds up to make me more open-minded and broader in my perspectives."


Trust is everyone’s business
To Hempel, Trust is earned is so much more than a tagline or a marketing slogan. It’s the promise we make to be better throughout our business every day. We know that you’ll do your best work when we put our trust in you. That’s why at Hempel, we commit to giving our people responsibility and autonomy to succeed at every level. From your first day at Hempel, you’ll be empowered to realise your full potential.
"At Hempel, you’re expected to make a difference and trusted to do so. No-one sets the limits for you. That level of empowerment was too good to resist."
