🤝 Elitfönster chooses Sames for a cleaner paint line

With more than two centuries of craftsmanship behind it, Elitfönster AB is one of Sweden’s most recognized window manufacturers. Rooted in tradition but always forward-looking, the company recently made a pivotal shift in its finishing process, transitioning from solvent-based to water-based paints.

To lead this transformation, Elitfönster partnered with Sames and chose the Viscobell® bell atomizer, a cutting-edge solution designed for high-quality and environmentally responsible coating.

“We tested many bell application solutions, but only Viscobell® met our expectations. The cleaning process is efficient and reliable, it’s a game changer.” - Elitfönster Team

🎨 Why transition to water-based paint?

The shift wasn't just a technical upgrade, it was a strategic decision to align with Elitfönster’s commitment to sustainability and efficiency. In close collaboration with AkzoNobel and Sames, extensive lab testing validated the compatibility and performance of Viscobell® with water-based coatings.

“It was the right time for a change. We saw an opportunity and decided to take it.” - Elitfönster

🌱 Tangible results for a greener future

The impact of the Viscobell® installation has been felt across Elitfönster’s operations:

• Reduced environmental impact
• Lower maintenance requirements
• Optimized paint consumption
• Shorter production lead times
• Energy savings, as solvent fume incineration is no longer needed

“While the visible quality of the coatings hasn’t changed, the process is now cleaner, more efficient, and more sustainable. We’ve increased productivity and see even more potential ahead.”

💡 Trust built through collaboration

The collaboration between Elitfönster, Sames, and AkzoNobel illustrates the power of partnership, where technological innovation meets hands-on support.

“Even though our first project didn’t start smoothly, we achieved excellent results. That’s why we chose to work with Sames again — for their professionalism and reliability.”

🎬 A Human Touch to a high-tech installation

Beyond the technical success, the installation process left lasting impressions, and a few laughs.

“During the installation, we all became one big family!”
(A private joke that still brings smiles across teams.)

✅ In summary

Thanks to the adoption of the Viscobell® solution and the trust built with Sames and AkzoNobel, Elitfönster has not only modernized its paint line, it has set a new standard for efficiency and sustainability in its industry.

“Choosing Sames was definitely the right decision.”
