WHAT WE DO

The original company was founded in 1973. In 2013, our experience led us to become part of the Japan-based NANKAI PLYWOOD group, whose products are of the highest quality.

Our company is focused on two main activities:

  • Phenolic resin design and manufacture: 16,000 T/year in capacity;

  • Technical paper impregnation with thermosetting resins: 25/30 million m²/year.

Rolkem offers its expertise and know-how to its clients:

  • In the panel industry: production of bonding resins for plywood, coating of formwork and anti-slip panels,

  • In the building industry: production of paper-impregnating resins for thick and self-supporting laminates, for wall and floor coverings,
