What Korte does

Korte (SIA Korte.lv) is a Latvian custom fabricator of solid surface products, headquartered at Zemeņu iela 2 in Salaspils with a production facility at Zemeņu iela 9. Founded around 2001 and operating with 11-50 employees, the company cuts, shapes, joins, and installs acrylic-based composite materials (DuPont Corian, STARON by LOTTE, and Meganite) into roughly 400 color options of kitchen worktops, bathroom surfaces, retail counters, windowsills, HoReCa furniture, office furniture, shower trays, sinks, hand disinfection stands, design products, healthcare and laboratory surfaces, and marine interiors. Its core technical capability is the fabrication of seamless monolithic assemblies, with on-site repairability via sanding and polishing, supported by 10-year material warranties from manufacturers and a 36-month in-house warranty that includes one free refinishing.

The business operates a direct, sales-led go-to-market: customers visit the Salaspils office, receive on-site measurements, select materials, and schedule installation under quote-based custom project pricing. Material is procured individually per order, with a typical cycle of approximately 20 business days for procurement and 10 business days for manufacturing. Korte serves both domestic Latvian residential and commercial clients and exports completed projects to Denmark, Austria, Germany, Sweden, and Norway, with reference customers including University of Vienna, Billund Airport, Nestle Copenhagen, Fotografiska Stockholm, Radisson Blu, SEB Banka, and Swedbank. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors and leadership consists of a CEO (Direktors), project manager, sales manager, production manager, procurement manager, and office manager.

Expansion highlights4 records

Others

• DuPont (Corian): US-based material manufacturer of DuPont Corian, Korte's primary premium solid surface brand and the operator of the authorized fabricator network Korte belongs to. Functions as upstream material partner and ecosystem enabler rather than a direct custom-fabrication competitor.
• LG Hausys (HI-MACS): Korean manufacturer of HI-MACS acrylic solid surface, the most direct competing material line to DuPont Corian, STARON, and Meganite. Not a fabricator but operates an authorized fabricator program similar to the one Korte participates in as a Corian/Staron/Meganite fabricator.
• Hanwha L&C (Hanex): Korean producer of Hanex solid surface under Hanwha L&C. A competing material brand to Corian, STARON, and Meganite with its own authorized fabricator network, positioning it as a relevant alternative material supplier in the same solid surface category Korte serves.
• LOTTE Chemical (STARON): Korean chemical/materials group and manufacturer of STARON solid surface, one of the three material brands Korte fabricates. Functions as upstream material partner with an authorized fabricator network of which Korte is a member.

Broad incumbents

• Cosentino: Spanish multinational manufacturer of Silestone quartz and Dekton ultracompact surfaces for kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial interiors. A larger established surfacing incumbent that competes with Korte across the same kitchen/bathroom/retail counter specification market, though it owns its materials and serves a much broader geographic footprint.
• Cambria: US-based, family-owned manufacturer of engineered quartz surfaces serving residential kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial projects. A larger industry incumbent in the broader engineered surfacing category that competes for similar customer specification budgets.
• Wilsonart: US-based manufacturer of decorative surfacing materials including laminates, solid surface (Wilsonart Solid Surface), and engineered quartz. Overlaps with Korte in solid surface kitchen/bathroom/retail applications and is a broad industry incumbent rather than a niche fabricator.
• Caesarstone: Israeli-founded global manufacturer of engineered quartz surfaces used for kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, and commercial interiors. Competes directly with Korte for residential and commercial surfacing specifications, although it sells slabs through a fabricator/retailer network rather than custom-fabricating on order.

Emerging players

• Technistone: Czech-based manufacturer of engineered stone surfaces marketed under the Technistone brand for kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial interiors. Comparable to Korte as a Central European surface supplier serving both project-based and consumer-facing kitchen/bathroom specifications.
• Compac: Spanish manufacturer of engineered quartz and decorative surfaces used for countertops and interior cladding. A European-based, specialty surfacing competitor that targets the same commercial and residential project specifications Korte serves.
