Välinge Innovation is pleased to announce that its long-term licensing partner Mannington is launching a collection of real wood flooring branded TimberPlus™ with Woodura® surface technology and 5G® Dry™ in North America.

Hardened Wood Floors featuring Välinge’s patented Woodura® technology are taking the flooring world by storm — combining the beauty and feel of a real wood floor with exceptional water-resistance, durability, and sustainability. To meet the demand for this revolutionary flooring category, Bjelin d.o.o. — owned by Välinge majority shareholder, Pervanovo Invest AB — has recently begun construction of the world’s largest wood flooring factory in Ogulin, Croatia, for the production of flooring featuring Woodura® surface technology under licence from Välinge Innovation.

Välinge Innovation has announced a new licensee for its groundbreaking Liteback® technology. Jiangsu Success Wood Products — better known as Pridon, has signed a global non-exclusive license agreement for the use of both Liteback® and Välinge’s market-leading 5G® locking systems including 5G-i® Push Down and 5G® Fold Down.

Välinge Innovation announced today a further strengthening of their collaboration with machine supplier HOMAG China — signing a cooperation agreement that allows Välinge to offer its licensees in China next-level access and support to the latest generation of automated inserters for both the 5G® Fold Down locking system and Threespine® click furniture technology.

We are pleased to announce a new licensee in Sweden will begin producing furniture with our furniture click technology - Threespine® in the first quarter of 2022. Magnus Andersson i Huskvarna AB manufactures and supplies kitchens, bathrooms, wardrobes, and furnishings to construction projects and building material outlets throughout Scandinavia. The company also produces private label products and manufactures furnishings under its own brand, ALBA.

Välinge will exhibit live at The International Surface Event (TISE) February 1-3, 2022, in Las Vegas. They will feature both the latest Välinge Flooring product launches as well as licensed Välinge technologies, which will be highlighted in Booth #1021.

Välinge Innovation is excited to announce a sponsor partnership with the National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) in North America. NWFA is a trade association representing all segments of the hardwood flooring industry in the US, and its training and guidelines for installations are the reference points for the industry.
