Välinge is announcing a change of leadership in China as the current Managing Director retires.

Pervanovo Invest AB, Välinge Innovations’ parent company headquartered in Viken Sweden, and with subsidiaries in Croatia, has acquired 98% of the shares in the Croatian listed company Spacva d.d. in Vinkovci.

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.

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.

Established in China since 2007, Välinge is actively supporting more than 200 licensees in China and in other Asia Pacific countries. Välinge continues to expand and increase the level of service it is able to offer Asian customers.

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 that their groundbreaking Välinge Flooring Hardened Wood Floors have achieved a GREENGUARD Gold certification — the highest possible GREENGUARD product rating.

After successful launches in the US and Asia, Välinge Flooring will now launch in France — taking their revolutionary real wood floors into the European market for the first time.
