1970 年，化學家 Georg Kremer 博士收到了一位英國好友/修復師的請求, 請他協助尋找“Smalt”, 一種由含鈷玻璃製成的深藍色色調, 雖然當時已不再使用. 但這種顏料早在古埃及時代就已被廣泛使用, 並在巴洛克時期經歷了文藝復興時期. 經過廣泛的研究, Georg Kremer 再製出這個歷史悠久的藍色玻璃的配方.

1977 年成立 Georg Kremer 的一人公司奠定了基礎. 直到今天, 仍在繼續研究和生產古老且被遺忘的顏料, 將他的化學知識與他對歷史的熱情結合在一起.  才短短兩年, 產品範圍已覆蓋100多種顏料.

1984 年，Georg Kremer 購買了位於Aichstetten 的舊麵粉廠。該建築被改建為色磨廠、生產、倉庫、銷售和陳列室均位於此處. 

1982 年在慕尼黑和 1985 年在斯圖加特分別成立了分支機構.

隨著 1989 年 在紐約成立Kremer Pigments Inc. , 這家族企業加強了其國際影響力，並為藝術家和修復者打開了美國顏料市場。

In 1970 graduate chemist Dr. Georg Kremer received a request from a befriended English restorer. He is in search of “Smalt”, an intense blue shade made of cobalt-containing glass, which is not available anymore at that time. The pigment had already been used by the old Egyptians and experienced a renaissance inthe Baroque. After extensive research, Georg Kremer was able to reproduce the recipe for the historic blue glass. These works formed the basis of the foundation of Georg Kremer’s one-man company in 1977 in Rottenburg am Neckar. Until today ongoing research and the production of old and forgotten pigments allow Dr. Kremer to combine his chemical knowledge with his passion for history.

Back then the product range covered more than 100 pigments after two years already. Growing international demand enables the niche company to expand steadily. In 1984 the company founder purchased an old flour mill in Aichstetten in the Allgäu. The building was converted into a Color-Mill, where the production, the warehouse, sales and a showroom are located. Additional branches are established in 1982 in Munich and in 1985 in Stuttgart. With the foundation of Kremer Pigments Inc. in 1989 in New York the family run business strengthens its international presence and opens up the American market for pigments for artists and restorers.

​

現今, 該公司 1500 種顏料中的 250 種是在色磨廠生產的.

基於最高的品質和純度標準, Kremer Pigmente 已成為色粉界的領導品牌. 

家族第二代首席執行官 David Kremer 說「我們鑽研傳統塗料製作的原始配方, 進而讓許多長期被遺忘的顏色重見天日.

此外, 還嘗試了許多不同的材料, 例如石頭、骨頭或樹根, 這使我們能夠創造出更多已知與未知的色調變化」

除了手工製作的歷史顏料系列外, Kremer Pigmente 還經銷現代合成顏料. 歷史和現代的黏合劑、膠水和各種介質是修復者的必備工具. 透過填料的選擇, 來改變顏色的透明度和表面特性. 即用型顏料, 如漿糊、油畫顏料、修飾顏料或水彩顏料, 都是手工製作的, 並根據古老的配方生產. 天然染料、現代合成顏料、溶劑、化學品、添加劑以及工具、刷子和技術文獻使產品種類更加豐富.
