ORAFOL celebrates new milestones in 2025

ORAFOL is celebrating its 35th Anniversary, 30th Anniversary of the first foundation stone being laid at its headquarters and 20th Anniversary of its American headquarters in Black Creek, which was built in 2005. The path from a German Democratic Republic (GDR) company to a global player was rarely smooth, but was always characterised by courage, technology and a clear vision for the future. ORAFOL’s roots go back to 1808, when Richard Wibelitz laid the foundations for the manufacture of chemical products in Oranienburg over 200 years ago as the exclusive manufacturer of postmark inks for the Kingdom of Prussia. Over the course of a century, the Wibelitz-Farbenwerkstatt in Berlin developed into a renowned manufacturer of paints and varnishes.
