Antonio León, innovation and ecology to revolutionise the painting industry

Antonio León, a chemist from El Viso del Alcor, Seville, has dedicated his whole life to the painting industry. With the outbreak of the economic crisis he started to think about how to create a product that was ecologic, innovative and that would allow him to open up a gap in the market. He started by recovering the lime which is traditionally made in a firewood oven. And he continued by adding graphene nanofibers. The result, more resistant and natural paints and mortars and, after only three years on the market, Graphenstone has managed to reach 60 countries around the world.
