About Excellence Coatings
Our goal is to develop and sell innovative, PFAS-free easy-to-clean additives and coatings for the specific use cases of our customers. We want to solve the needs of our customers! A priority for us is to make PFAS obsolete to create a cleaner planet.
To achieve this, Excellence Coatings was founded in February 2022 by Dr. Deniz Dogan, David Wedegärtner and Sven Wauschkuhn. Excellence Coatings is a start-up from Paderborn University, where our unique know-how was developed in the past seven years.

Excellence Coatings is a spin-off from Paderborn University. We use the laboratories of the university and have an office at the facilities of the university’s start-up accelerator, TecUP.


We are also part of the six-month start-up support program of Chemstars NRW, an initiative of market-leading companies from the chemical industry and the German chemical industry association North Rhine-Westfalia (VCI NRW).

Excellence Coatings was founded during the project Nanodots Waterline which was supported in the program EXIST Transfer of Research, a program of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) supporting outstanding research oriented projects that involve expensive and high-risk resource development.
