DecoMetal® laminates are now called Homapal® laminates, in honour of their German artisanal heritage

Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, Canada, March 25, 2025 — Formica Corporation announces the rebrand of its popular DecoMetal^® Laminates line to Homapal^®, a leading global manufacturer of real metal laminates and magnetic laminates, based in Herzberg am Harz, Germany. As the manufacturer for the DecoMetal^® line for many years, the collection will represent the North American offering of architectural metals, bringing together German engineering excellence with global design innovation. This evolution unites the brand’s global premium metal surfaces under a single, cohesive identity that honors its origins.

“Designers and architects love our range of metal laminates because they offer endless possibilities to enhance any space, regardless of style,” says Christelle Locat-Rainville, Marketing Director at Formica Canada. “We’re pleased with this name change, which honours the German craftsmanship and heritage behind these high-quality products. Their timeless appeal will continue to resonate with the design community, offering unmatched aesthetic versatility for both residential and commercial spaces.”

Homapal^® solutions offer almost unlimited scope for creativity and customization, using thin rolled foils made of aluminum, copper, brass and stainless steel. Special embossing processes and artisanal craftsmanship give the surfaces their unique textures. The newest launches include last summer’s launch of the all-new Metallic series and new additions to the Rubbed series, expanding the possibilities for metal looks on vertical surfaces.
