Operations Manager

About Klint

Klint is the fastest growing consumer paint brand in the Nordics, inspiring and guiding people to decorate their homes with innovative products and beautiful design. Our vision is a world where everyone can create the home of their dreams in a sustainable way, a vision we will pursue until we are the #1 global home decor brand.

Our first key product innovations are hand-painted adhesive paint samples (“Swatches”), which yield a 100% colour accuracy, save 98% of the paint used when trying out colours for a room, and simplify the colour selection process for our customers. Our second key product innovation is a new type of flexible packaging for paint in the form of a transparent and recyclable paint bag.
