About NORDOX
The origins of NORDOX go back to 1886, the founding year of the NORDEN paint factory specializing in cuprous oxide based antifouling paint for the fishing fleet. In the 1920’s the company started cuprous oxide production for its own requirements.
After World War I the company won a contract to supply cuprous oxide to the British Admiralty, which gave an incentive to expand the capacity and to supply other marine paint manufacturers as well. In 1962 the cuprous oxide business was established as NORDOX under new ownership with the objective of specializing in cuprous oxide for the world market.
Building on its long history NORDOX adapts to technological changes and new requirements in the market. Together with existing and new customers NORDOX is a leader in finding new and exciting application areas for the NORDOX dicopper oxide. Being a market leader with a continuous capacity expansion program NORDOX offers high-quality products on cost efficient conditions.
