Flügger x the Salon
The painting profession has been at the centre of Flügger since 1783.
This year we are highlighting a special aspect of the painting profession: decorative building painters. For hundreds of years they have cultivated and refined decorative painting, and we know them especially from magnificent buildings and works of art.
On the 8th-11th of May 2025, there will be 75 of the world’s best decorative building painters gathering for the event called the Salon Horsens. They will come from all corners of the world and for 4 days they will show beautiful results and work live with impressive techniques.





Flügger celebrates craftsmanship
Flügger sponsors the Salon Horsens to support the craftsmanship.
Because we are proud to be suppliers to the painting industry. Together we extend the life of materials and make the world more colourful.
About the Salon
Since the beginning in Belgium in 1992, the Salon has grown into the world’s most important gathering place for decorative painters.
Here, professionals and visitors alike can experience exceptional craftsmanship, live demonstrations and meet some of the greatest masters of the trade.
In keeping with tradition, a unique work will be created on site under this year’s theme, where several motifs from Norse mythology are woven into a 5 x 2.5 metre painting.
As a supplier to the professional painters, it was an easy decision to support the Salon Horsens. We look forward to celebrating the craft together with the world's elite, and watching the artworks being painted before our eyes.
Sune Schnack, CEO of Flügger Group
We are excited to show the public our craftsmanship and techniques. Hopefully we will inspire people with our passion for our craft.
