TRESPA manufactures flat phenolic panels made from thermosetting resins, homogeneously reinforced with wood fiber and manufactured under high pressure and temperature. Using TRESPA’s patented EBC technology, the surface of the phenolic panels is developed, and they are used as exterior cladding for ventilated facades, eaves, balconies, interior cladding, and a wide range of other applications.

Architect Gana is a graduate of the University of Santiago de Chile. From 2008 to 2010, he served as Coordinator of the Chilean College of Architects, having coordinated the 16th Architecture Biennial and the 21st National Congress of Chilean Architects in 2008.
