Innovation that performs. Not promises.

We do not innovate for the sake of innovation. At De Koninggroep, new techniques originate from practice. From projects where performance and protection leave no room for uncertainty. Proven applications that improve results in real operating conditions. Nothing earlier. Nothing unnecessary.

Innovation driven by experience

Innovation at De Koninggroep is not confined to a department. It is embedded in daily execution. More than thirty years of experience in industrial and maritime projects, as well as superyacht construction, has created a clear understanding of where improvements matter most: stronger protection, longer service life and reduced maintenance requirements. These developments originate from practical project demands and are refined in collaboration with suppliers and technical specialists. We continuously optimise our methods and systems. But only solutions that demonstrably perform better under real conditions become part of our standard approach.

Selection and validation of coating systems

Every system we apply has proven its performance in practice. New coating technologies are tested and validated before implementation. We assess adhesion, wear resistance and long-term maintenance requirements. Not only at delivery, but over extended periods and under varying operational conditions. Only when a system performs consistently do we integrate it into our processes. This approach keeps risks manageable, quality consistent and long-term protection predictable. Across every project and every location.

Specialist coatings for maritime applications

Propspeed

Propspeed is a coating system developed for underwater metal components such as propellers, shafts and rudders. The system prevents marine growth, maintains smooth surfaces and reduces drag, without requiring aggressive cleaning methods. Propulsion performance is maintained while maintenance requirements are reduced.

Key benefits:

  • Improved propulsion efficiency
  • Reduced fuel consumption
  • Extended component lifespan
  • Reduced downtime for maintenance

Lightspeed

Lightspeed is a transparent coating developed specifically for underwater lighting systems in maritime environments. The system protects sensitive lighting components against fouling and contamination without affecting light output or colour performance. Underwater lighting continues to perform as intended, even during prolonged operation below the waterline.

Key benefits:

  • Consistent light output and color rendering
  • No damage caused by cleaning or removing deposits
  • Reduced maintenance and lower operating costs
  • Extended lifespan of lighting components
  • Reliable submarine operation
