Greenlam Industries is a leading player in the laminate industry, known for its wide range of high-quality and innovative products and yes, we do operate in diverse segments such as decorative laminates, compacts, decorative veneers, engineered wooden flooring and doors, offering customers a comprehensive range of products to choose from.
As mentioned by you, the laminates available under Greenlam, NewMika and Splendor Laminates differ in terms of their range of designs. The Greenlam collection features subtle designs that are inspired by international trends, with a focus on sophistication and evolution. On the other hand, the NewMika offers bolder and trendier designs, which are aimed at a younger demographic. In terms of quality, both Greenlam and NewMika laminates are manufactured to the highest standards, ensuring durability and longevity. In contrast, Splendor Laminates are designed to be more affordable and economical, primarily targeting the Southeast Asian market. Hence, the difference between these three laminate brands lies in their design range and target audience, as well as their cost and affordability.
