Our History

It all began back in 2002 when DVUV built the first UV cured powder coating line in North America for MDF. Since then Keyland Polymer began manufacturing and producing its own resin and UV curable powder coatings not only for MDF, but additional substrates. View the timeline below to learn more in detail about Keyland Polymer’s history.

So It Begins
So It Begins

Our story begins in Plainwell, Michigan with a former company named Decorative Veneer. The first UV cured powder coating system for Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) in North America was built here.
