Välinge continues to grow its flooring business in Asia. During the first three quarters of 2019, the company has not only increased the number of local staff, announced a new service center - but also managed to sign more than 20 new license agreements. 

On the 5th of December 2019, Välinge Innovation held a grand opening ceremony of their support center at Homag China Golden Field in Kunshan. Mr. Niclas Håkansson, CEO of Välinge Sweden, Mr. Guan Jianhua, Managing Director of Jintian Haomai, and other leaders, corporate representatives and industry colleagues attended the event.

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.

The increased search for more environmentally friendly solutions has resulted in a continuously growing interest for Liteback® core technology by Välinge.

During 2019 Välinge invested in a new Homag profiling line for its R&D centre that is now being installed. 

With a record number of granted patents, new patent applications and a constantly growing number of licensees, 2019 turned out to be a great year for Välinge and its licensees.
