During the official award ceremony on Monday evening, May 20, in Cologne, Välinge received the interzum award ”Best of the best” for its Threespine® click furniture technology.

In addition to the existing sales office in Shanghai, Välinge now expands its presence with a support center at Homag China Golden Field center in Kunshan. 

- Halstead, Home Depot and Välinge enter into a confidential settlement agreement
- Case relating to Isocore, Lifeproof, Allure Ultra and Home Decorators branded products is withdrawn on the parties’ joint request 

Välinge is first again with unpreceded innovations at DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR 2019 in Shanghai. The newly developed wall panel system is based on the well-proven technology 5G® Fold Down.

Välinge has signed new license and cooperation agreements as a result of the increasing demand for its Liteback® core technology. The machines used for the technology—also called “groving units”—are currently being delivered to customers in China and additional machines have been ordered via HOMAG China Golden Field. 

Chinese company Durasein® has signed a license agreement with Välinge Innovation for the use of Threespine® in its solid surface products. The agreement will enable Durasein to combine its unique material with click furniture technology, thereby offering improved assembly experience and new design opportunities.

Välinge Innovation has on the 10th January 2019 filed a petition requesting an Inter Partes Review (IPR) at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) of the US Patent and Trademark Office, opposing the validity of US patent 10,053,868, issued on August 21, 2018. The patent formed the basis for the recent unjust and meritless litigation against one of Välinge Innovation’s licensees.
