Proven brands and individual products: basic components for a successful outcome.

ROWA GmbH was established in 1958 in Seevetal near Hamburg as a rubber-processing company. In 1969 it also began producing high-quality lacquer systems, matting concentrates and additive systems for the coatings and plastics industry.

ROWA Lack is part of the ROWA GROUP, attracting customers with more than half a century of experience. With its technical competence, modern product design and customer-oriented services, ROWA Lack has become one of the market leaders for the surface finishing of coated textiles.

With ROWA Korea in south-Korea, the company strengthens its long-standing market profile and boosts the service quality.

ROWA Lack works with its customers to develop tailored solutions – customer satisfaction is the number one priority. Whether developing new, innovative lacquer systems or optimizing lacquer processes, ROWA Lack offers flexibility and personal consultation. New products are always developed with an eye toward using environmentally-friendly raw materials and state-of-the-art technology.

Conducting business with high standards of ethics and integrity, including compliance with laws and regulations, have always been top priorities within the ROWA GROUP, its parent company Georg Nordman Holding Aktiengesellschaft and the Nordman Group. As a longstanding international family-owned organization, these top priorities, alongside with our basic principles of entrepreneurial actions for reliability, personality, respect and fairness towards our employees and business partners, lay the foundation for the good reputation of the GNH Group.

Our way of working is based on our four key values “Responsibility, Performance, Guiding and Passion”, beside the principles laid down in our Code of Conduct setting the ethical framework for all our actions. We live our values and principles, and we believe they are also the core principles of everyone working with us to ensure the continued existence and growth of our organization. To assume responsibility and protect the GNH Group and our employees, we promote trusting, sincere and fair cooperation with clear rules and a compliant way of acting. 

To ensure compliance with our Code of Conduct and applicable laws and regulations within our organization, we have set up a compliance management system which is applicable for all companies within the GNH Group.

An important part of our compliance management system is our Integrity Line, being an independent, impartial, and confidential whistleblowing system. It protects whistleblowers, those affected and employees who are involved in clarifying reported misconduct. This also includes offering opportunities for anonymous reporting and communication. Discrimination or retaliation against whistleblowers and all persons who contribute to investigations within the GNH Group will not be tolerated.

Any kind of violations of the principles of our Code of Conduct and applicable laws and regulations can be reported via our Integrity Line
