With production facilities in Brazil, Germany, Spain, and France, and international sales and technical teams supporting customers worldwide, Munksjö combines global reach with close collaboration across the value chain. Its portfolio includes print base papers, foil base papers, printed decorative papers, and solid-color decor papers for HPL, CPL, and LPL applications.

With an annual decor paper production capacity of around 275,000 tons, Munksjö continues to invest in strengthening its production network and long-term capabilities. One important milestone highlighted in the feature is the Expandecor investment at the Caieiras plant in Brazil, which increased capacity and upgraded one of the paper machines to a state-of-the-art level, supporting productivity, quality, and portfolio development for international markets.

We develop and manufacture materials that combine design, stable processing, as well as high-end product properties and performance. This approach is also reflected in the company’s ongoing investment in innovation and in-house design capabilities, helping translate emerging trends into solutions that respond to customer needs.”, explains Florian Mayer, VP Marketing and Sales Decor.

A strong theme throughout the article is the evolution of decor paper design. Nature-inspired palettes, warm neutrals, earthy tones, calming greens, and the growing relevance of solid colors are all part of today’s interior landscape. At the same time, layered colors and tactile effects are becoming increasingly important, bringing more depth, contrast, and expression to decorative surfaces. These directions are reflected in Munksjö’s DENSITY Solid Color Trend Collection concept, which explores the interplay between dense tones and lighter hues to create balanced, contemporary, and emotionally engaging spaces.

The Turkish market also has a clear place in this story. Known for its strong furniture and panel industries and export orientation, Türkiye remains an important environment for collaboration and development. In the article, Urungu Yörüker, Sales Manager Türkiye, highlights the value of working closely with customers in a market that connects local expectations with international trends. As he notes, “Munksjö maintains a strong, long-standing position in the Turkish market.”

The feature also points to decor preferences that resonate strongly in Türkiye: natural aesthetics, refined color transitions, and warm, inviting interiors. Within this context, two solid-color decors stand out in particular: Sandstone, with its soft and warm beige character, and Mineral Grey, a deeper and more structured shade that supports more sophisticated design expressions. Together, they show how decor papers can help create interiors with warmth, contrast, and versatility.

Looking ahead, the outlook shared in the article points to an industry increasingly shaped by sustainability, sensory surface design, and solutions adapted to modern living environments. Low-emission materials, certified raw materials, ultra-matte finishes, realistic textures, modular furniture concepts, and high-performance laminate flooring all form part of this evolving landscape, where decor papers continue to play an important functional and aesthetic role.
