The experts behind our testing services

Reliable results come from skilled professionals. Chemists, chemical engineers and laboratory staff work together to deliver precise, impartial testing.

Testing Laboratory

Accredited laboratory testing, measurement documentation and test reports. Details of the group's laboratory testing are on the laboratory page.

Anita Szűcsné Molnár

Head of Testing Laboratory

I graduated as a chemical engineer from the University of Veszprém. Soon after graduation, I entered the world of paints and coatings. For nearly a decade, I worked as a technical expert: alongside seasoned colleagues, I gained a comprehensive understanding of the foundations of corrosion protection and protective coating systems—knowledge that has proven invaluable in laboratory testing. Since 2014, I have been leading the QUALILAKK testing laboratory, which marked an exciting new chapter in my career. Although we work strictly to standards, no two coatings are identical, so every assignment presents unique technical challenges. From these we synthesize a coherent, reliable picture that directly supports our clients' decision-making.

Györgyi Blum

Laboratory Technician

I graduated as a chemical technician from the Petrik Lajos Technical School of Chemistry. After earning my qualification, I first worked at the Budalakk company, and have been with Festékipari Kutató Kft. ever since its founding. My work involves preparing and performing a wide range of tests, as well as carrying out the daily and weekly maintenance of the testing equipment. I encounter many diverse testing tasks in my day-to-day work: this is an engaging challenge, as every measurement is unique, and delivering rigorous accuracy requires continuous precision and attention to detail.

Lívia Molnárné Nagy

Head of Development Laboratory

I have worked with paints and coatings ever since earning my chemistry degree with a focus on colloid science. For three decades I have been active in various fields of the paint industry, currently as head of the development laboratory. My work mainly involves innovation and product development projects, where I design new coating systems and formulations. As a formulator, I look for the way an idea becomes a paint that works and can be manufactured.

Expert Group

On-site inspections, execution control and corrosion protection expert assignments. The group measures and evaluates coating systems through on-site inspection.

Ferenc Szakács

Head of Expert Group

As a chemist, I have spent more than 10 years testing corrosion protection coating systems for carbon steel structures, assessing the condition of coating systems, designing surface protection technologies and inspecting surface protection works. I am drawn to assignments where the right, long-lasting solution has to be found for a specific technical problem. I believe no two tasks are ever exactly alike: I always look for the best and most durable solution by taking into account the environment and technical conditions of the given structure.

Anikó Karvalicsné Bende

Expert

I graduated as an applied environmental researcher and then, in 2011, found myself in the world of paints. Until 2020 I worked mainly on product and technology development, complemented by quality management and chemical safety tasks. That experience serves me well in my current work as a technical expert. I most enjoy assignments where complex problems have to be investigated and solved, where I can learn new things and give room to my creativity.

Martina Stayer

Expert

I graduated as an analytical chemical engineer and work as a technical expert in corrosion protection. In my work I assess the condition of coating systems and take part in the inspection of surface protection works. I like that this profession combines hands-on experience on site with the analysis of technical problems. Every inspection is different, so for me it means continuous learning and new professional challenges.

Quality Management

The QUALILAKK quality management system and quality assurance based on ISO 17025.

Zsófia Varga

QUALILAKK Head of Quality Management

Ever since earning my degree in bioengineering, I have worked in the paint industry, primarily as a paint development engineer. Since 2018, I have been leading the quality management of the QUALILAKK Testing Laboratory. My background in paint development provides a solid foundation for integrating both quality assurance standards and practical engineering perspectives into the operation and continuous development of the laboratory. In my work, my goal is to maintain the highest standard of our testing services, in full compliance with NAH regulations and ISO 17025 requirements.
