BEAUTY

1831: Boero begins its history in the world of coating, from a small white-lead factory in Genova. The founder, Bartolomeo Boero, gets into the market developing the importance of the esthetical aspect (beauty) integrated with the fundamental protective function of paint; this is why the swan has been chosen as brand symbol.
In just a few years, experience together with passion and strategic vicinity to the sea lead to the development of an 'anticorrosive underwater paint for steel and iron steamers and for wooden vessels'. After years of activity, today, Boero Bartolomeo Spa is a group of international importance that through various brands and divisions is a market leader for painting products in three strategic sectors: architectural & decorative, marine, yachting.

AFFINITY

Due to the marine experience, in the recent seventies the Yachting Division was created and, in line with the principles of protection and beauty, a complete range of speciality products was launched. 1983: following a considerable number of heavy duty tests, the superyacht painting system was developed, breaking throughout the market with an immediate consent. During 1991 Boero Yacht Paint began the production of tin-free antifoulings and strongly improved its strategies based on R&D, manufacturing, distribution and assistance. The quality of the products wins over the Italian shipyards, both for new-building and refitting projects, taking Boero towards a leadership position. The Company’s Quality System
is certified according to the ISO 9000 standards.

PERFORMANCE

The Boero Yacht Paint Division has formulated a range of specific products which, used in combination with the basic system, allow to accelerate working time and to simplify painting procedures, with reduction of stock costs. This unique painting system, 5 or 7 coats,
suitable for any type of support and part of the boat, is based on a limited number of items and tailored for the various shipyard and applicators needs, with particular care for health and environmental protection. The painting cycle has always accompanied the challenges of the greatest champions that have used the Boero Yacht Paint cycle for years to maintain their highly technical boats that are always placed under the stressful weather conditions of the Atlantic Ocean.

VERSATILITY

Boero Yacht Paint range includes over 400 items, for boat painting, maintenance and repair. The first segment concerns primers and antirust products, extra-light fillers, undercoats, one- and two-pack enamels, additives, degreasers, paint removers, tin-free long-life and self-polishing antifoulings, with reduced impact on the environment. The maintenance and repair range includes polyester resins, fillers, gelcoats, glass fabrics, silicones, neoprene glues, cleaning agents, waxes and polishing pastes, protective and lubricating sprays, polyurethane foam soundproof panels, technical equipment and accessories. An extremely wide range of products designed to meet any demand.

RELIABILITY

After the extraordinary growth in Italy and France, the Yachting Division enlarged its market through a highly effective international development strategy and the products are now available in over 20 countries. In the various areas particular attention is paid to advice and assistance, with expert service centres supported by Boero Yacht Paint R&D technicians, among the most specialised in this field.
The very latest success of the team is the creation of ScanEye™, the digital system for codifying a standard procedure, reproducible and objectively comparable, to assess the finishing quality aspect of a coated surface.

FAR-VIEW

The Boero Yacht Paint Division is constantly devoting significant resources in its search for advanced technologies, to achieve increasingly innovative and high performance products for the leisure marine markets. Scientific and methodological research as well as the continuous endeavour of Boero’s research team to update technology are tangibly expressed in the product line that combines extremely high performance with total correspondence to current regulations.
In addition, in order to satisfy the needs of large transoceanic yachts that require available paint cycles in each port, the Boero Yacht Paint division has developed the new 'SuperNavi' product line, which is a complete bottom protection system that includes ablative anti-fouling (self-polishing) for hard (long-life) or aluminium moulds, characterised by high performance without the use of tin-derivative substances.

LEADER

Boero Yacht Paint has gained two strongly desired targets through its continuous technical research, organisational efforts, quality of products, service efficiency, constant application of the concept of values and the great passion for the sea:
• leadership in the Italian market for pleasure boats coatings;
• leadership for superyacht painting systems (Boero supplies all the Italian megaboats new building shipyards with a unique proposal, based on Epolight, the most performing high build epoxy filler, in two versions, Plus and Win).

EXPERIENCE
