There were many reasons why Boer decided to set up his own coatings outfit. The one which stands out the most is his vision to only develop BPA-free solutions. Taking a cue from the EU discussions on human health risks on exposure to BPA, which started in mid-1990s based on a study in Switzerland, he reflects: “When I started my own company, I thought if the EU is starting to discuss the risk of a certain chemical, it means it’ll be banned. I took a long shot by focusing only on BPA-free solutions”. This hunch has proved correct
given the BPA controversy and increasing regulatory and consumer pressure to ban BPA and the wider use of bisphenols for metal food containers and beverage cans to this day. “BPA-free solutions were already available in 2000 but they were three times more expensive, so nobody was interested. The first
“We’re now on generation 5 or 6, and this is the advantage we have. Sayer Lack recognised this advantage, and our customers are seeing it too. Now there’s a sea of change and the first customers I spoke to recently are saying they’re not going to qualify any products based on any type of bisphenol. These are some of the big can makers”. The company’s motto “A New
Way Forward” rings true today as much as when it was first coined in 2008. “Our goal remains the same. We want to change the can makers’ world from an epoxy and organisol- based solutions to BPA-free. This is still a new way forward.” He noted that as a company “our
focus will not change because we aspire to be a technology leader in BPA-NI. We want to stay on top of technology. In this market, making a three-piece can be done in 300 ways, with every customer working with their own lines and equipment. We always focus on the customer. This is

“Talking about being a technology leader is one thing and doing it is another. We’re trying to prove that we’re a technology leader, also on developing new technologies and technical services. This will be more and more important in the coming years”. Asked to comment on its JV
partner in the Netherlands, Alberto Alvarez, executive director of Grupo Sayer, said: “Grupo Sayer has been active in the can coatings market for 10 years. We have achieved to reach a
majority market share by helping our customers to develop better cans with better coatings.Diostyl Coatings is a company that fits in the strategy of Grupo Sayer to have a worldwide presence in Asia, North America and Europe. Diostyl Coatings has been working in the BPA-ni technology for more than 15 years, they have all the approvals and the technology in a very competitive Market. This is the reason why we decide
to invest in Diostyl Coatings to profit from the potential of this technology. At the same time Grupo Sayer have other technologies, like sealants, that will complement the portfolio of Diostyl Coatings. We do think we have reached is
a win-win situation where both companies can now supply each other’s portfolio worldwide and benefit of great products with extended technologies. This is the main driver of the investment. At Grupo Sayer we have always
invested in businesses that have the best products at the best possible technology.
