One idea lay behind the development of HIMACS: what would it be like to make a material similar to
stone available to carpenters? A material that can easily be worked using existing and traditional wood-
working tools. A material that enables craftsmen to translate the most exciting visions of designers and
architects into reality.
As a Premium Solid Surface material, HIMACS is a perfect mix of the natural mineral aluminum hydroxide
and high-quality acrylic; a small proportion of coloured pigments is added, depending on the shade.
Aluminum hydroxide is produced during aluminum extraction and, as the natural base of the material,
creates its high-grade stone-like feel and elegant appearance. Acrylic gives the material its flexibility and
the ability to be joined seamlessly.
HIMACS exclusively uses Thermal-cure-Technology, a special thermal treatment of the sheets as one of
the production steps. Consequently,
HIMACS offers some of the best features in the market-place: Easy sanding, better heat resistance etc.

Anyone understands that it is so much more than a simple material. That's why many
who have experienced HIMACS call it "the material of possibilities".
HIMACS introduces the possibility of working with "stone" into the carpentry workshop, enabling high-quality
kitchens, bathrooms, healthcare fixtures and fittings, etc. to be produced and, in doing so, creates a completely
new business model.
HIMACS is a strong brand produced by the premium manufacture. The HIMACS team receives countless
enquiries for projects using the material, which we pass on to the members of our HIMACS Quality Club – our
organization for our closest partners.
We support Europe: PR, traditional advertising, online communication, social media, as well as involvement in all
the relevant industry events. There is a wealth of opportunity to get involved with some of these initiatives.
