Government infrastructure investments, particularly in public buildings, transportation hubs, and educational facilities, create substantial opportunities for material suppliers who can demonstrate quality, reliability, and value.
A Quarter-Century of Craftsmanship Enabling Boundless Design. In an era of accelerated internet communication where information can be difficult to verify, we deeply understand that what is truly trustworthy are the promises tested by time. The Koris story is about this steadfast, practical commitment, one that began in 1998 and spans over a quarter-century.
The Koris story begins in 1998. At that time, facing the high costs and long lead times of premium solid surface materials, as well as the general lack of character and depth in local materials, our founders established Koris with a pure passion for material science and a firm conviction in the industry's future.
We believe we are not just manufacturing sheets; we are "customizing spaces for the future." We want every sheet manufactured by Koris to instill a sense of confidence and usability in designers and fabricators.
We did not want to be a distant supplier; we aspired to be an accessible, reliable, and solid partner for designers and procurement teams. This philosophy is particularly relevant for the Colombian market, where building trust and maintaining long-term relationships are fundamental to business success.
A truly excellent solid surface should be more than cold chemicals; it must embody a commitment to quality, responsibility for health, and respect for aesthetics. This commitment resonates strongly with Colombian values of craftsmanship and quality.
Koris since 1998 has continually optimized its processes through practice, with experience serving design. This confidence stems from our strict selection of raw materials, meticulous attention to every batch, and unwavering adherence to delivery commitments.
Designers' desire for free-form curves never ceases. To meet this, we continually invest in R&D to refine our specialized polymer formulation, granting our sheets a longer thermoforming window and superior flexibility at molding temperatures.
The Result: Koris sheets can be molded into tighter radius curves than traditional materials. This means the buyer's project can achieve more sculptural, fluid, and complex geometries without sacrificing the material's strength and resilience. This capability is particularly valued in Colombia's contemporary architecture, where organic forms and flowing designs are increasingly popular.
At Koris, we offer not a promise of perfection, but consistent manufacturing experience since 1998, process transparency, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
Today, Koris is more than a solid surface factory; it is:

Colombia's diverse climate zones—from tropical coastal regions to high-altitude Andean cities—present unique challenges for building materials. Acrylic solid surfaces from Koris are engineered to perform reliably across these varied conditions.
Coastal cities like Cartagena, Barranquilla, and Santa Marta experience high humidity levels year-round. Unlike natural stone or wood, acrylic solid surfaces are non-porous and completely resistant to moisture absorption. This prevents warping, mold growth, and degradation—common problems with other materials in humid tropical environments. The material maintains its structural integrity and appearance even in bathroom and kitchen applications in Colombia's most humid regions.
Colombia's proximity to the equator means intense UV exposure, particularly in high-altitude cities like Bogotá and outdoor applications throughout the country. Quality acrylic solid surfaces maintain color stability and surface integrity under prolonged sun exposure. While we always recommend appropriate installation practices, our materials demonstrate superior UV resistance compared to many alternatives, making them suitable for Colombian semi-outdoor applications like covered terraces and balconies.
From the warm Caribbean coast to cool Andean cities, Colombia experiences significant temperature variations. Acrylic solid surfaces have excellent thermal stability, maintaining their properties across the temperature ranges encountered in Colombian applications. The material neither becomes brittle in cooler highland climates nor softens excessively in tropical heat when properly installed.
Acclimatization: Allow materials to acclimatize to local conditions for 48-72 hours before fabrication and installation, particularly important given Colombia's climate variations.
Substrate Preparation: Ensure substrates are level, dry, and stable. In humid regions, moisture barriers may be advisable for certain applications.
Adhesive Selection: Use recommended adhesives suitable for tropical conditions to ensure long-term bond integrity.
Expansion Allowance: Follow proper spacing guidelines to accommodate thermal expansion, particularly important in areas with significant temperature fluctuations.
Daily Cleaning: Simple soap and water or mild detergent is sufficient for routine cleaning—ideal for Colombian commercial environments where ease of maintenance is crucial.
Stain Removal: Most stains can be removed with gentle abrasive cleaners. The material's solid composition allows for light sanding if needed.
Repair Capability: Minor scratches and damages can be repaired on-site, avoiding costly replacements—particularly valuable in Colombia where specialized replacement services may have longer lead times.
Long-Term Care: Periodic professional refinishing can restore original appearance, extending material life indefinitely.
