The
story of ‘SUNMICA’ business in India dates back to the year 1963-1964, when it
existed as a joint venture between Formica International Limited and Bombay
Burmah trading company. In the year
1998, the company introduced a new brand of laminates called ‘SUNMICA’- a blend
of decorative, brown, and translucent paper with plastic resins. The
laminate sheets of ‘SUNMICA’ brand were of 1mm thickness, whereas the Formica
brand had laminates of 1.5 mm and higher thickness. Owing to its great
durability and acceptance in Indian households as well as commercial usage, the
brand ‘SUNMICA’ became extremely popular and also synonymous with laminates.
‘SUNMICA’
is now ‘SUNMICA AICA’
In the year 2011, BBTL sold
its ‘SUNMICA’ division to AICA Laminates India Pvt. Ltd which was a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Japanese AICA Kogyo Company Ltd. ‘SUNMICA’ by AICA Group is the only
‘ORIGINAL SUNMICA’ and is available in several designs, patterns and colour
shades. ‘SUNMICA’ is a flagship brand in India with a proven track record
of quality, durability and reliability over the years.
‘SUNMICA’ and ‘Laminates’ are two different
things?
Well
Yes. However, for most Indians the words ‘SUNMICA’ and ‘Laminates’ have become
synonymous with each other. It becomes apparent from the fact that when
customers in India check into any retail plywood and laminates showroom they
demand ‘SUNMICA’ catalogues or ‘SUNMICA’ shades instead of asking for a full range
of laminate brands. Customers do not have any distinction in their minds, when
it comes to ‘laminates’ and ‘SUNMICA’. Over all these years, ‘SUNMICA’ has
grown to be a generic brand, which is also a favorite of all. People
recognize laminates through ‘SUNMICA’ and not otherwise.
