Log in to Workplace

It is with a great sadness that we announce that Nils Knappe, former Artists Colours chairman for many years, and Managing Director of H. Schminke and Co, unexpectedly passed away on the 19th October. On behalf of all the CEPE members and specifically all the members of the Artists Colours sector, we offer our sincere condolences to Nils’s family, friends and colleagues. Our thoughts are with them at this very difficult time, and we wish them all the strength in the world as they come to terms with this tragic loss.
