We are proud of our long-standing collaborations with some of Sweden's leading manufacturers of linseed oil paint. In our paint factory, we mix Engwall & Claesson's paint according to the NCS system and the Swedish National Heritage Board (RAÄ). In addition, we also offer high-quality linseed oil paint from two other well-renowned manufacturers - Ottossons Färgmakeri and Gysinge, both of which have extensive experience and expertise in the field.
