KORC was created as a brand within Milestone Design Ltd in 2005 to be used to promote the use of recycled materials in the manufacture of kitchens.

Gaining expertise in using recycled materials has led to, not only kitchen doors and worktops being created but moving onto free standing furniture and tables.

We are now producing the kitchen cabinetry from recycled plastics and moving into production of items of fitted bathroom furniture.

With our production facilities well established, we now welcome any enquiry, commercial or domestic, fitted or free standing, batch work or ‘one off’s and will consider any project anywhere in the UK in our mission to further the use of recycled materials.
