Since 1851, the family company has been active in the international market for raw materials, and over the years it has continually adapted to the requirements of the market. Today’s Worlée is run by a fifth generation of family management. At our company, extensive experience and the most modern technology combine with unconventional thinking and a strong instinct for future trends.

From water-based alkyd resins to exotic fruits to biodegradable exfoliants, all of Worlée’s product lines clearly reflect the northern German family company’s economical, ecological and social standards.
