The new focus lay on the production of chemicals paints and products. There was even a business unit active with grinding pigment dispersions in line seed oil.
During the war, the factory had to stop the production for a while. After the war Mister Maas decided to sell to company and became a wholesaler in painting merchandise.
The brothers Jan & Nol van Weezenbeek, till that moment active in trading coatings and paintbrushes, took over the Haarlemsche Stoomverffabriek in May 1947.
The brothers Weezenbeek changed the name to Ardo Verffabriek. The name Haarlemsche Stoomverffabriek refers to manufacturing processes based on steam, but in these days the did not make use of steam any more, they used electro engines.
In 1968 the sons Jaap and Hans van Weezenbeek boarded the company. Due to it's growth, they build a new manufacturing plant at the Marconistraat 5 in Heerhugowaard.
A large plant of three roll machinery was build to manufacturer pigment dispersions with a high viscosity.
Ardo Verffabriek grew in a rapid pace. Several new buildings were necessary to house al activities.
