The Formica brand name is one of the most powerful and trusted in the world.
Formica® products first entered the European market in 1946. This long-established presence has given the Formica brand exceptional customer recognition throughout the continent.
Serving the British Isles market, Formica Limited is a subsidiary of Formica Corporation - a leading worldwide designer, manufacturer and distributor of decorative laminates, solid surfacing, and other decorative surfacing materials used in commercial and residential applications. Formica Corporation has the most extensive manufacturing and distribution capabilities in the industry, offering a total surfacing solution.
Decorative laminates, used principally for interior surface applications, are valued for their durability, design features, versatility and ease of maintenance. Representing superior design, quality and overall value, the Formica name contributes significantly to the company’s position as one of the most frequently-specified brands of high pressure laminate among architects, designers, contractors, shop fitters, home builders and manufacturers of finished products.
Residential applications include kitchen furniture, worktops, bathroom furniture and flooring. Among the many commercial applications for Formica products are work surfaces, furniture, washroom cubicles, interior doors, counter tops and interior wall linings. Throughout the world you will find Formica decorative surfacing materials adding quality and attractiveness to civic buildings, leisure facilities, libraries and offices; to schools, colleges and universities; to hospitals and laboratories; to hotels and restaurants; to shopping malls, food courts and store interiors; to airports and rail stations; to ships, buses and trains ....
Formica Corporation has a history of product innovation in both technology and design - an important strategic advantage in the decorative surfaces market. Staying on top of design trends through regular communication with design leaders and consumers, the company also maintains extensive design centres.
The company has fourteen manufacturing facilities throughout the world and its products are sold in over one hundred countries. It is the first or second largest seller of high pressure laminate in major national markets including Brazil, Canada, China, Finland, France, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Formica products are marketed through thousands of locations to major distributors, to manufacturers of finished goods, and to architects and designers who specify for commercial and residential interiors. This marketing success is achieved by an international network of independent dealers and by the company’s own sales force. The company has approximately 350 sales representatives with 400 distributor locations and a further 10,000 sub-distributors and dealers worldwide.
Formica Corporation uses leading-edge technology and its international presence to express the best of design in the industry’s most innovative products. Formica laminates are manufactured under an ISO 9002 quality system to comply with European Standard EN 438 and International Standard ISO 4586. The location of the company’s design centres, manufacturing facilities and distribution networks ensures effective response to customers’ design and delivery needs - and the company’s acquisition in 2000 of Perstorp Surface Materials substantially expanded its already-strong position.
