As Mint reported earlier, the company, established in January 2020, has quickly become a significant competitor in the decorative laminates and plywood sector.

It provides an array of premium products, such as flush doors, decorative laminates, acrylic sheets, printing paper (base), and plywood, serving both residential and commercial clientele.

In September 2023, Lamosaic ventured into manufacturing by inaugurating a cutting-edge facility in Chembur, Mumbai.

This tactical decision has enabled the company to enhance its control over quality, expenses, and customer satisfaction by offering customized products that meet various market demands.
