Merino decorative laminate

Merino is a global leader in the surfacing industry, specializing in high-pressure and low-pressure laminates used widely in interior design, kitchen cabinetry, and architectural projects. Founded in 1965 with a humble plywood manufacturing unit in Assam, India, the brand has grown into a vertically integrated powerhouse under the Merino Group. The company's operations are characterized by a 'Making in India' philosophy, with major state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities located in Hapur, Rohad, Hosur, Dahej, and Halol. These facilities leverage advanced European technology from Germany and Italy to produce over 10,000 SKUs exported to more than 80 countries worldwide.

Ownership of the brand remains held by the Lohia family through their flagship entity, Merino Industries Limited. The brand has expanded its portfolio beyond surfacing to include food processing (potato flakes under the Vegit brand) and information technology services, maintaining a focus on sustainability and 'Universal Weal.' As of 2026, the company continues to operate as a privately held Indian giant, headquartered in Kolkata with a significant corporate presence in New Delhi.
