FormaShape is the world’s leading manufacturer of composite fiberglass canopy fascia for the retail petroleum market.  FormaShape serves leading petroleum brands around the world through several manufacturing locations in North and South America as well as Asia and Europe.

The FormaShape headquarters for sales, design, global management and global quality assurance is based in Canada at our ISO 9001 certified 80,000ft2 / 7,500 m2 factory in Kelowna, British Columbia.

FormaShape partners with both the petroleum marketer and brand design agencies to produce  computer aided design, Solidworks part modeling and exploded view “3D assembly models” of full concept retail signage.  We then turn complex curvilinear part models into highly durable single piece panels with multiple colors, complex geometry and combined translucence/opacity in a single panel.

FormaShape markets its unique petroleum fascia products under the brand name SilkTek Curved Composite Materials (SilkTek CCM), delivering an innovative, modern and highly durable alternative to traditional Aluminum Composite Panels (ACM).  SilkTek CCM offers superior strength to weight performance over traditional ACM. SilkTek can also be molded into complex 3D shapes and curves, finished in multiple colors on a single shaped panel and it can be illuminated from within through our “SilkTek Vision” translucent fiberglass formula.
