LEXINGTON, N.C. — Valen USA has launched a new line of Thermally Fused Laminate (TFL) door and drawer fronts that the company says is designed to "deliver modern aesthetics, durable performance, and consistency that enables consumers to keep jobs on schedule and customers satisfied."

The new TFL line delivers consistent finishes with exact-match compatibility to Tafisa and Egger panels — ensuring seamless coordination across today’s most in-demand designs.

 Engineered for performance, Valen TFL doors feature scratch- and fade-resistant surfaces with PUR edges, eliminating the need for finishing and reducing production bottlenecks.

The doors are available in miter, slab and shaker styles to meet the needs of residential kitchens, multifamily projects, hospitality, and refacing programs with two-week lead times and flexible order sizes.

The full color range and technical specs are available in the sell sheet.

Expanding portfolio
The new TFL line expands the companies portfolio, which includes solid Beech drawer boxes, plywood and melamine options, and a decorative laminate veneer (DLV) door program. 

In 2025, Valen is celebrating 40 years of operation in North America. Valen began in the early 1960’s in Europe, and in 1985, Valen began offering custom drawer manufacturing in North America, starting in the Piedmont Triad area of North Carolina. In 2006, five-piece door manufacturing was added in the company's Lexington, North Carolina, plant.

Today, Valen serves all of North America including Canada, the Caribbean, and Mexico with a full range of drawer and door products. Farther out, Valen Romania (known as Valenest) specializes in the production of solid wood drawer components. Located in a region rich in beech, birch, and oak timber, Valen Romania operates an on-site sawmill and a modern kiln-drying facility. Valen Italy (known as Valenext) is a full-service drawer production facility located in the heart of the Italian furniture manufacturing region, with complete machining capabilities for drawers and drawer components. Valen Italy specializes in JIT service within Europe and neighboring regions.
