VIRGO LAMINATES

A comprehensive laminate surface portfolio, presented in Malaysia by Monara Surfaces Virgo Laminates is a design-led surface brand offering high-pressure laminates, compact laminates, liners and the performance-focused VIRGO 10N. Launched in India in 1996 and introduced to Malaysia in 2016, the brand offers architects, interior designers and fabricators a wide selection of colours, textures, finishes and sheet formats.

ABOUT THIS ENTRY

Virgo Laminates was established in India in 1996 and, according to the company, now has a presence in more than 90 countries across five continents, with a workforce of over 2,000 employees. Its Virgoism 2025–26 collection encompasses wood grains, patterns, solid colours, textured solids and speciality laminates, including post-forming, anti-fingerprint, fire-retardant and antibacterial surfaces, alongside compact laminates. Sheet sizes range from 4′ × 8′ (1,220 × 2,440 mm) to 6′ × 14′ (1,830 × 4,270 mm), allowing for larger applications where visual continuity is important. In Malaysia, Virgo has offices in Johor Bahru and Sungai Buloh, and this entry is submitted by Monara Surfaces Sdn. Bhd., based in Johor Bahru.

WHY THIS ENTRY STANDS OUT

Virgo combines a broad design selection with documented performance and third-party certifications. VIRGO 10N was tested in Germany and achieved Grade 5 scratch resistance under EN 438. Products from Virgo group companies are supported by certifications and labels, including GREENGUARD Gold for low chemical emissions, the Singapore Green Label for VIRGO high-pressure laminates, and the MyHIJAU Mark in Malaysia. The company’s high-pressure and compact laminates have also passed food-contact tests under EN 1186-1 and EN 13130.
