Adding color to the world since 1979
More than 45 years ago, a group of enthusiastic plastics innovators founded Holland Colours in an old paper factory in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands.
A small but ambitious team, they had an idea that would ultimately disrupt the world of colors and earn them the description ‘pioneers.’
Their big idea? To make low- and no-dust colorants for plastic products by encapsulating pigments in a bio-based carrier. The result was Holcobatch, a bio-based masterbatch that remains unique in the industry.

As your partner, we will find a better way by working together. With a focus on personal service, we co-design innovative solutions for a sustainable industry. We develop and supply concentrates of custom colorants and additives that bring you peace of mind and suit tomorrow’s needs.
