First Schattdecor Solutions Forum Held in February

Schattdecor invited customers and leaders in the North American surface and panel industry to their facility in St. Louis, Mo. for its first Solutions Forum in February 2017. The event began with a get together at the St. Louis City Museum, a 600,000 sq ft art installation and playground made up of recycled bits and pieces of the city itself. On February 16, a day-long informational session took place at the Schattdecor facility in Maryland Heights.

Presenters explored a variety of topics and inspired guests with information to help drive innovation and improve workflow. Roland Heeger, chief technical officer of Schattdecor, introduced several new products, including digital printing, Proflex Floor and Decolay Real. Stephanie Richardson, design manager for Schattdecor, gave a trend report covering first quarter 2017 observations from the January trade fair season.
