Välinge has launched a new locking system for enhanced water resistance at DOMOTEX in Hannover. With the new system 5G® Hydroguard, floor producers will now be able to make life easier for their customers. 

The Chinese flooring producer Jiangsu Beier Decoration Materials Co., Ltd – also known as BBL – has signed a license agreement with Välinge for the use of Liteback® sustainable core technology for thermoplastic flooring. 

Välinge is launching a revolutionary technology for installing wall panels at Domotex Hannover 2020: 5G® Climb™. Based on the Välinge 5G technology, this new solution enables a unique, fast and easy way to mount wall panels and create accent walls without any tools. 

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.

Amorim, a longstanding and valued licensee of Välinge, has chosen to sign up for Välinge’s extended patent protection (EPP) for its WISE collection, which will also be equipped with Välinge’s 2G™ and 5G® locking technologies. 

-       Settlement creates legal certainty for the market – all pending disputes settled

-       Settlement covers all “new material” flooring products with locking systems

-       Välinge continues to be the sole licensor of the 5G™ and 5G-i™ technologies 

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. 

California based-furniture producer Caba Design has signed a license agreement with Välinge for the use of Threespine® click furniture technology.
