Throughout the next several decades, Consoweld was a major producer of Decorative Laminate, on par with Formica, to the extent that Sears & Roebuck carried some of their products in their catalog.
In 1996, the profitable company was sold to Libby Owens Ford (subsequently Trinova Corporation with a Sterling Engineered Products subsidiary.)
Starting in the 1950s, the main use, however, was as a worktop, tabletop, and wall partition, both commercially and for residential homes (the decorative finishes and patterns being more colorful).
Midcentury design often featured Consoweld Decorative Laminate throughout a residential home, from kitchen countertops & tabletops to wall panels and furniture surfaces.
Despite this event, Consoweld Decorative Laminate can still be found in use even to this day on countertops and furniture surfaces throughout the country, surviving the test of time.
