In the world of architecture, a facade is much more than an exterior; it is a visual story that expresses a brand's values and vision. This principle is beautifully illustrated in the new facade of the extension of the Rockpanel factory in Roermond. The unique design, which graces Rockpanel's latest coating line, reflects the company's commitment to innovation, design freedom and sustainability. With this new coating line, Rockpanel is not only ready to meet growing demand but also to express its brand identity in a powerful way.
