About Sting

Development of sustainable innovation

Sting Additives was created in 2019 after a successful innovation programme by Wydo New Business Development B.V.. Wydo is a corporate spin-off of the family-owned company Royal Van Wijhe Verf in Zwolle and focuses on the development of sustainable innovations with impact; on R&D projects that contribute to the achievement of environmental and climate objectives and the conservation of biodiversity. One of these processes has resulted in the patented StingĀ® technology, which is now marketed through Sting Additives.

Modern R&D laboratory

Sting Additives is located at the Zernike location of Campus Groningen where it has a modern R&D laboratory with fifteen employees. Groningen is a conscious choice because of the good collaboration with highly educated researchers at the University of Groningen and the Hanzehogeschool. Groningen has put itself on the map as a hotspot, particularly in the areas of microbiology and (bio)chemistry.
