Laminam, the Italian specialist in large ceramic slabs, has announced its acquisition of the majority stake in LAMINAM Japan. Laminam said that in view of the target company’s experience in the distribution of Laminam’s architecture and design surfaces, 'this decisive operation marks another major step forward' in its international growth.
Implementing Laminam’s strategic approach, the LAMINAM Japan partners and management team will retain complete decision-making autonomy, ensuring continuity in sales, marketing and brand development on the ground. This corporate structure has been chosen to ensure the most effective use of local expertise while delivering synergic expansion supported by the resources and know-how of Laminam S.p.A.
"LAMINAM Japan will continue to operate as an independent entity, drawing strength from its history and its roots, supported by Laminam’s investment potential and global expertise,” said Laminam CEO Alberto Selmi. “By consolidating this synergy with the Matsushita family, we’re combining the best of both worlds: Japanese solidity and excellence with the technological innovation and international drive Laminam can provide.”
Laminam said it is confident that the current partners and directors will continue to lead the company with the same dedication and market-orientation that have made it a key player on the Japanese market. It added: 'The operation strikes the perfect balance between continuity and innovation. While LAMINAM Japan maintains its roots and its cultural identity, Laminam contributes a global approach, combined with innovative technologies and a particular focus on environmental sustainability.'
