Coventya Group is an international specialty chemicals company which provides electrolytic surface finishing, including the processes relating to metal deposits through chemical reduction (such as electroless nickel) plating. These processes are used in the so-called GMF (General Metal Finishing) industry.〔http://www.metalfinishing.com/view/9631/coventya-reorganizes-management-structure-/〕 Surface finishing is used in various industries such construction, sanitary, fashion, luxury goods, electronic or oil industry. The group is present in more than 40 countries and employs more than 500 people (2013). Its global turnover is about 120 million Euros.〔http://www.theengineer.co.uk/sectors/process/barclays-private-equity-completes-mbo-of-coventya/1009386.article〕 The group was created in 1927 as Société Continentale Parker.〔http://www.zinc-fonderie-france.com/index.php?page=24&lang=1〕 The company was formerly part of the Chemetall group located in Frankfurt, Germany. Coventya is represented worldwide with production sites in Brazil, Italy, Germany, United-Kingdom, India, South Korea, China, Mexico and the USA. Major competitors of Coventya are the US-based companies Enthone and MacDermid. ==History== Coventya’s history is linked to ''Société Continentale Parker'' in Clichy (92, France). In 1927, four aviation pioneers: Louis Paulhan, Enea Bossi, Pierre Prier and Robert Deté created ''Société Continentale Parker'' on the basis of a license for Parkerisation from Parker Rust-Proof in Detroit (MI, USA).〔http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:CF2-R1pwnnUJ:www.greenovate-europe.eu/system/files/u53/3_Thiery.pdf+Parker+rust+proof+soci%C3%A9t%C3%A9+continentale&hl=en&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEEShwk7s2-WPsbwyXz_GPGiwl0z6aLHF7rpXqwWn1TvfRemEnWrXO_fHr2m5ByFZvtAlAJhKhW1BZ1_FyM2lA-iuJ-G9KBaKIj0Vp9CzqnmP7g73CjIQTH6niLhJxwp0IzILx4YZS&sig=AHIEtbTm2-ay-jjFiE2vu6D4KT52oRBPmQ〕 In 1930, Continentale Parker started its Plating activities based on a license agreement of Udylite also from Detroit. The first licensed product introduced into the market was an organic brightener for Cadmium plating. During the 1960s, Continentale Parker specialized in the Plating of precious metals due to the distribution of Sel-Rex processes of Nutley (NJ, USA).〔http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:xM6lspRaRRcJ:epatras.economie.fgov.be/DisplayPDF/ExtraData/FR/5023/518798.pdf+continentale+parker+galvanoplastie&hl=fr&gl=fr&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESjnkqLktAb7Yti0zYsi8w5rVRrPH2o29WhEYOtokQt_iya5zzMeGqMSjFVR5PDDrd16_os_LrFDq7QH2C9_U1DRdassCJhjhIPchi6o8mpTjbpIRybiwCfCMIyghzkFtUOsBikv&sig=AHIEtbQ7A_dAc_SZ94PjRzJXqZMwBlyQ3Q〕 In 1965, the German group Metallgesellschaft AG acquired most of the shares of ''Société Continentale Parker''. Later on, it was integrated into Chemetall GmbH, created in 1984 in order to regroup all of its specialty chemicals activities.〔http://www.chemetall.fr/index.jsp?content=4CCD93CAF81F5570C1256E950057327E&men=1&submen=2&subopen=1_true〕 The internationalization began with the setting-up of electroplating departments in Chemetall Benelux and Spain, followed in 1988 by a new external development policy targeted towards Western Europe: *Barattini, Italy (1989)〔http://issuu.com/infopro/docs/821-24-dossier_/8〕 *Polar, Italy (1993)〔http://issuu.com/infopro/docs/821-24-dossier_/8〕 *TECS, France (1994)〔http://issuu.com/infopro/docs/821-24-dossier_/8〕 *Pelidag, France (1995)〔http://issuu.com/infopro/docs/821-24-dossier_/8〕 *Weiland, Germany (1996)〔http://issuu.com/infopro/docs/821-24-dossier_/8〕 The group eliminated the diversity of names by creating a new single identity in 1998: Chemetall Plating Technologies. The risky speculations of Metallgesellschaft on oil futures in 1993 eventually caused it to separate from the plating activity and led to the sale of the business in 2000 which then became Coventya.〔http://www.usinenouvelle.com/article/traitement-de-surfacechemetall-plating-technologies-se-deploiereprise-par-quadriga-capital-et-le-management-la-division-traitements-electrolytiques-de-chemetall-rebaptisee-coventya-multiplie-les-proje.N100265〕 Coventya continued to pursue the globalization trend, favoring the external development of the company by acquisition: *Folke-Stigen, Sweden (2001)〔http://www.industrie.com/chimie/galvanoplastie-premiere-acquisition-pour-coventya,23463〕 *McGean Rohco Mexico (2002)〔http://artigos.tol.pro.br/portal/linguagem-fr/Coventya〕 *CGT/Auromet, Italy (2002)〔http://www.industrie.com/chimie/projets-et-realisations-coventya-reprend-un-groupe-italien,31692〕 *CGL Quimica, Brazil (2003)〔http://artigos.tol.pro.br/portal/linguagem-fr/Coventya〕 *Sirius Technologies, USA (2004)〔http://www.aboutus.org/Sirius-Tech.com〕 *Coventya (Suzhou) Chemicals, China, (2006)〔http://www.sfchina.net/2010/detail_en.asp?boothnumber=SF13E13-16〕 *Taskem, USA (2007)〔http://www.aboutus.org/Sirius-Tech.com〕 *Palojoki, Finland (2008) *Plating Business of Chemetall-Rai, India (2011) 〔http://issuu.com/infopro/docs/821-24-dossier_/8〕 *Molecular Technologies, UK (2012)〔http://www.metalfinishing.com/view/24442/coventya-completes-acquisition-of-molecular-technology/〕 *Ecostar Co.
