TORONTO, ON.

“We’re improving the customer experience with Material Bank in North America,” said Philip Eeles, President, Laminam North America. “This partnership comes at the perfect time, with demand for porcelain on the rise, and now, with the ability to experience and appreciate the difference between Laminam and other materials first-hand, designers can feel confident in their selections without touring various showrooms. We’ve already seen a significant number of samples ship all over the USA and Canada for various projects, from residential to large commercial.”
