SICAM 2025 — overview with a focus on countertops (October 14–17, 2025)
At the SICAM 2025 exhibition in Pordenone, solutions for kitchen and work surfaces attracted particular attention — precisely those products that are of direct interest to countertop manufacturers and furniture studios. The Fundermax factory presented a new interior decor collection, kicking off the interior design season, and many of these decors are immediately being considered for use in HPL countertops.What is important for the countertop sector
- The new Fundermax decor collection features textures and finishes optimized for use as work/kitchen surfaces: wear resistance, aesthetics, and practicality in one set of solutions.
- The kitchen focus of the exhibition — the second day was devoted to kitchen trends, providing a clear understanding of what decors and functional properties customers can expect in the near future. This is important for countertop manufacturers who need to combine design and technical characteristics.
- Innovations and technical solutions — the stand showcased examples of combining HPL surfaces with special edges, wear-resistant coatings, and finishing options that facilitate installation and everyday use.
Representation and contacts
Throughout the three days, our colleague Vladislav Sinkevich worked at the Fundermax stand, introducing visitors to the possibilities of materials specifically for countertops — from decor selection to practical recommendations for use.
What this means for BUDZIRKA and its customers
- Quick assortment update. Some of the presented decors are already included in the plans to replenish the HPL countertop warehouse program BUDZIRKA — this will allow our customers to quickly order popular solutions for kitchens and commercial spaces.
- Expanded offering for furniture studios. For fans of BUDZIRKA countertops, the new decors are an opportunity to offer customers trendy surface options without long delivery times.
- Practicality is a priority. Fundermax's selection is not only focused on appearance — important technical characteristics (wear resistance, moisture resistance, ease of care) are critical for countertops.
Additional content
The stand featured a recorded interview with Vitaly Ivakhiv about the optimal design of kitchen surfaces — expect the video with expert commentary to be published soon.

SICAM 2025 confirmed that the countertop market is entering a phase where design and technology are equally important.
