ABET Laminati, leading manufacturer of high-pressure laminate (HPL), announces the opening of its facility in Richmond, Calif. The location hosts 4,000 square feet of office and showroom space in addition to its warehouse. 

At 17,000 square feet, the new Richmond location is larger than ABET's Toronto facility but smaller than the 29,000-square-foot Englewood, N.J., facility. 

In accordance with ABET’s environmental friendliness, the facility reduces electrical use by almost 80 percent thanks to several large 

skylights. Overhead lighting will be used only as necessary on rainy days, a rare occurrence in sunny California.

ABET continues to be at the forefront of style and environmental sensitivity as seen in its recent GreenGuard certification and through its Tefor line of HPL made entirely from recycled materials.
