BLFA Factory Tour 2015 – FunderMax Vienna

Delegates from BLFA member companies recently enjoyed a fantastic trip to the FunderMax laminate production facility in Vienna. The 3 day trip from Wednesday 16th to Friday 18th September 2015 was a unique opportunity to see the production process up close and also gave delegates a greater insight into the FunderMax product range. FunderMax is one of the largest producers of decorative laminates in Europe with a wide product range including interior and exterior compact laminate, façade systems, balcony panels and high pressure laminate for interior applications. All products are available in the UK and full details can be found at www.fundermax.at

The trip also afforded opportunities to see some of the amazing architectural delights of Vienna.

The BLFA would like to thank all at FunderMax for their kind hospitality and the hard work that went into organising the visit. All of the delegates said how much they benefitted from the trip. You can read some comments at the end of this news story.
