DOBEL® Film Laminated steel and aluminium are extraordinary suitable for many types of interior applications. They are very flexible materials that can be shaped in almost any way. In the manufacturing process, using prelaminated steel or aluminium often results in fewer production steps and also, in most cases, lower energy consumption. Metalcolour has 50 years of experience and over the years we have accumulated a lot of knowledge about potential uses for our products.Film Laminated metal is also a good alternative from a recycling perspective because used material can be melted down and reused.

The marine industry is our main market
The marine industry is Metacolour’s main market, and a typical cruise ship project often means that 150,000-300,000 square meters of material is needed on surfaces where DOBEL® products can be applied. In a recent project, Metalcolour delivered 350,000 square meters used for wall panels, ceilings, doors and wet units.
To add some perspective, the total area of our DOBEL® products delivered for Icon of the Seas corresponds to 51 soccer fields. We find that quite a thrilling thought, says Ingemar.
Metalcolour has for some years now also increased their focus on the construction and train industry to broaden their market.
We are getting a good response and have been supplying materials for some time now that have been used for, among other things, security doors, interior fittings in elevators and in railway cars.The type of design that is requested varies over time and this is one of Metalcolour’s biggest challenges.
Keeping our range of designs up to date and filling the need for real product samples among our customers improves collaboration and are good for us, our partners and the end result.

Nor-Shipping and CSI Expo in Miami coming up
Fairs and exhibitions are important opportunities for Metalcolour to get in touch with new potential partners. And as usual, we will be there with exhibition stands at Nor-Shipping and Cruise Ship Interiors in Miami, both of which take place in early June. We are already looking forward to going. The fairs always mean lots of constructive conversations that often lead to new ideas and opportunities. After many years of collaboration, many of our business partners have also become our very good friends, says Ingemar.

Our customers’ success is also our success
Ingemar emphasizes that Metalcolour’s main focus is delivering high-quality products. Being a flexible business partner and assisting with innovative solutions that increase value for the customer, is also a key to success. With the products in the DOBEL® series comes a quality and service guarantee that Metalcolour is alone to offer in the market. – Our DOBEL® products are well known in the targeted industries for the high quality and we are often praised for our flexibility as a supplier.
