“Corian® is a remarkable brand and a versatile material that over the years has been synonymous with quality and innovation. Last year, we announced a new business and brand vision under a new name: Corian® Design. This brand repositioning saw the introduction of a dynamic tagline –
Make Your Space™ – that invites architects, designers and consumers to unlock the potential built into our offerings. Starting in 2018, we have undertaken a series of steps to transform our business. We have expanded our product offering across all regions, aligned ourselves to respond more quickly to industry trends, deepened our commitment to digitalization, strengthened our cooperation with business partners and customers, and launched our global Make Your Space™ communication campaign. To help champion the advantages inherent in our product line, we also have created the Corian® Design magazine, aimed at design-conscious individuals curious to see what our materials, products and solutions could do. This second issue is showing that our vision and strategy is materializing at 360 degrees,” said Julie J. Eaton, Vice President and General Manager of the Corian® Design business.
In the second issue, the Corian® Design vision is presented through a series of interviews with global managers of the business. Julie J. Eaton describes the new brand and business model, while other managers present the opportunities in the residential market, the Corian® Exteriors initiative, the hospitality segment, the Corian® Quartz repositioning and the introduction of Corian® Solid Surface with Resilience Technology™.
