About Baril Coatings
Baril Coatings started producing paints and coatings in Moerkapelle in 1982. A number of committed employees have been with the company since the very beginning. They have seen the company grow from small-scale paint maker from a shed to an international coating producer. In 2004, Baril Coatings took over the operations of Fortis Coatings.

FORTIS COATINGS; A STRONG BRAND
Passing through Zuilen, Utrecht and Bilthoven, Fortis settled in Den Dolder in 1946. In 1955, an entirely new factory was commissioned next to the original factory in Den Dolder. Fortis developed into a company with an excellent reputation in the field of sustainable protection of metals and plastics.
POLYURETHANE paints
Fortis' high-quality polyurethane paints found their way to many government agencies, industrial and public utility companies. Fortis moved to Veghel NB in 1996, where the company merged with Verbo Coatings.
TAKEOVER BY BARIL COATINGS
All Fortis Coatings activities were acquired by Baril Coatings in 2004. Here, all Fortis product lines underwent a technological boost and were marketed under the Baril brand. In 2015, some products were re-launched under the Fortis brand name as industrial dealer lines.
