Votre plateau de travail
créé avec Stratimage®

The DAP history begins more than 50 years ago, as a specialist in bespoke and custom-made laminate manufacturing, the Stratimage® process. The company, initially focused on the stratification of Michelin maps, has diversified its production and is today the European leader in custom HPL.

The investment in new technologies and the perfect control of its production has allowed DAP to establish itself as a major European player in its field of activity.

DAP's core business is the manufacturing and marketing of bespoke HPL under the Stratimage® brand. These panels are equipped with strong technical characteristics, which give the products an incomparable resistance over time and a unique possibility to personalize the panel.

Every year, DAP accompanies more than 2000 projects around the world.

The company owes its notoriety and reputation to its know-how, its seriousness in the execution of the processes and the quality of its products.
