More about what we do:

Think of an everyday item. The instrument panel in your car, the boards on your deck, your garage door. It probably has a pattern. How did it get there? Who designed it? Where is it made? Does it serve any function other than decoration?

As with the , shape, or raw materials used in any manufactured product – texture adds value and serves a function. We in turn provide the industry with the tools they need to impart those textures and build or maintain their brand image.
