Uniboard Melamine Press Begins Early Production

Neumarkt, Germany, Dec. 21, 2009--Uniboard said its new melamine press in Val-d'Or has gone into operation earlier than planned, which strengthens its position for thermofused panels in the North American continent.

The company now has a total of 10 melamine presses in this market. And for the first time, Uniboard has entered into a marketing alliance with Kustom Material Laminators, a premier manufacturer of thermofused melamine in the Western U.S.

New press will enable the Uniboard site in Val-d'Or to expand its existing portfolio. It was originally scheduled to go into operation in the first quarter of 2010.

KML will include Uniboard's entire design portfolio in thermofused melamine panels in its product offering.
