Meet the Makers

Since 1976, family-owned Leeuwenburgh Fineer has dedicated itself to crafting world class, premium veneers. Originally specializing in products for the European furniture and boat building industries, their innovations have evolved the company’s reach into the global marketplace. Today, Leeuwenburgh’s veneers grace luxury yachts, parliament buildings and the finest kitchens and restaurants around the world.

At the heart of this evolution is Erik Leeuwenburgh, whose simple yet profound philosophy drives the company’s sucees: “Maximize the look and feel of the wood…. If you are going to compromise on the finish, you might as well choose laminate.”

Through this philosophy, Erik introduced “Lignapal”, a pre-finished veneer featuring a water-based coating. This revolutionary move away from solvent-based finishes not only delivers the rich texture and appearance of natural wood but also promotes a more environmentally responsible process, with less waste and significantly lower emissions.

Why Choose Lignapal?

Leeuwenburgh is synonymous with innovation and unmatched craftsmanship, and at the heart of their offerings is Lignapal, a specialty product born from decades of experience. Produced in Raamsdonksveer, Netherlands; Lignapal stands out for its consistent yet natural beauty, capturing the essence of real wood.

Effortless Workability: Designed for fabricators, Lignapal is easy to order and fabricate. No finishing means saving time while delivering flawless results
Uncompromising Quality: Each sheet of veneer undergoes a meticulous production process to ensure it meets the highest standards
Sustainable Luxury: Produced with sustainability in mind, Lignapal allows you to deliver high-end, eco-friendly results in any custom cabinetry or millwork project
 

Each piece of Lignapal veneer is a testament to craftsmanship. Carefully selected logs, often handpicked by Erik himself, come from sustainable forests in the U.S. and Europe. Whether it’s American black walnut or Croatian Oak, Lignapal veneers are ethically sourced and certified, free from any controversial or illegally harvested materials.

When you choose Leeuwenburgh Veneer and Lignapal, you’re not just picking a design – you’re embracing a tradition of excellence, craftsmanship, and innovation.
