In 1990, Nevamar was acquired by International Paper, adding the financial and distribution resources of a major international company to Nevamar's long-standing tradition of service and innovation. A tradition that has grown even stronger as part of the Decorative Products Division of International Paper. The company's capabilities were further enhanced in 1994 with the merger of Nevamar and Micarta, a pioneer of laminate technology, joining two of the best known and respected names in the laminate industry. When you're looking for the finest in construction and surfacing materials, look for the "Butterphant," the unique symbol of Nevamar Decorative Surfaces. Combining the image of the elephant to signify strength and toughness with that of the butterfly, it is symbolic of the natural beauty found in Nevamar laminates with ARmored Protection™ Plus Surface.     Copyright 2006.
