Brief History of Sorbilite

Sorbilite, GmbH was established in Germany in 1978. Extensive knowledge in the field of particle board and décor panel manufacturing was brought into the company through the chief scientists. They had worked on the Marshall Plan initiative, aimed to develop environmental technologies. The price of a $ 30 million décor-panel plant (Formica, Resopal) was reduced by 90% but quality and design variety was dramatically increased. The same results were achieved designing a new type of “value-added” three-dimensional particle board plant (MDF).

In 1985 Sorbilite, Inc. was established in the US and it became headquarters for worldwide operations in 1988. Today Sorbilite is located in Hampton, Virginia, USA. Sorbilite has established factories worldwide for more than 25 years.
