Adapting high-tech polymer material science to New Zealand's unique architectural requirements, strict seismic resilience standards, and sustainable building guidelines.
The construction landscape across New Zealand—from Auckland's urban developments to Christchurch's progressive architectural rebuild—is shifting away from silica-heavy engineered quartz due to nationwide occupational health concerns and stricter WorkSafe NZ regulations. Acrylic modified solid surface materials stand as the premier, 100% crystalline-silica-free alternative for commercial benchtops, retail fitouts, and residential interiors.
Engineered with non-porous composite matrices of premium acrylic resin, modified polymers, and high-purity aluminum trihydrate (ATH), our solid surface sheets fulfill the stringent hygiene standards required by the New Zealand Building Code (NZBC Clauses B2 Durability and G1 Hygiene). The seamless bonding capability eliminates microbial harbor points, making it the material of choice for District Health Boards (DHBs), medical laboratories, educational facilities, and fast-paced commercial kitchens.
Furthermore, solid surfaces are fully renewable and repairable on-site, aligning with New Zealand's Net-Zero Carbon 2050 ambitions, Green Star NZ ratings, and Homestar environmental standards by drastically reducing building lifecycle replacement waste.
Core Narrative: Driven by Pragmatism, 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.
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, fabricators, and project specifiers.
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 structural strength and resilience.
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 a vital bridge between global manufacturing and local project implementation.
From high-traffic public infrastructure to bespoke alpine luxury, our materials deliver outstanding aesthetic and functional longevity.
Hospitals across Auckland, Wellington, and Canterbury demand non-porous, chemical-resistant surfaces that prohibit bacterial growth and withstand harsh sanitizers. With seamless coved backsplashes and integrated sink bowls, Koris solid surface creates a continuous, ultra-hygienic environment ideal for surgical prep rooms, dental clinics, and aged-care washrooms.
In Queenstown's luxury lodges, Rotorua boutique hotels, and bustling Wellington waterfront eateries, benchtops must resist constant traffic, food acids, wine spills, and heat cycles. Koris marble-patterned acrylic sheets provide the timeless aesthetic of natural Calacatta and Nero Marquina marble without the porous vulnerabilities, staining risks, or high maintenance costs.
Modern Kiwi homeowners prioritize sleek, minimalist design with waterfall kitchen islands, concealed undermount sinks, and floating bathroom vanities. Our 12mm modified acrylic slabs allow seamless joins that are completely invisible to the eye, giving joiners the ability to create expansive, monolithic island benches that elevate any architectural floor plan.
Verified physical and chemical attributes designed to satisfy international testing and New Zealand commercial joinery requirements.

Comprehensive manufacturing capabilities backed by professional export logistics to ensure seamless supply chain predictability for your projects.
Whether you provide a Pantone / RAL code, a local New Zealand paint swatch (such as Resene or Dulux NZ palettes), or a physical material chip (tile, wood grain, or stone sample), our laboratory can formulate a high-accuracy, cost-effective customized solid surface match.
A solid surface's final aesthetic depends on skilled fabrication. We share over 25 years of accumulated craftsmanship in CNC cutting speeds, specialized adhesive color-match pairings, thermoforming oven profiles, and diamond polishing sequences to empower your local joiners.
Every sheet is protected with PE surface film, reinforced with high-density wooden crates and fumigated export pallets compliant with MPI Biosecurity New Zealand quarantine regulations, guaranteeing damage-free delivery straight from our plant to your warehouse.
