The Switch Is On
A German manufacturer of electrical switches, Gebrüder Merten GmbH & Co, KG,
has launched its Epoca range of switches. Touch-plates of CORIAN® provide rich, warm contrasts to
surrounding metal plates. Merten chose CORIAN® over alternative materials for its strength, durability and ease of
maintenance. The Epoca line of switches was named 1995 Product of the Year by the
Fachverband Kunststoff-Konsumwaren (an association for consumer goods made with synthetic
materials). Components of CORIAN® are manufactured by Pfeiffer & Söhne GmbH of Germany, an
authorized fabricator of CORIAN®.
