Välinge Ramps Up Capacity Through Acquisition of Mega Factory in Croatia

Russia's war against Ukraine is further amplifying the raw material crisis that was already strongly affecting the wood flooring industry. Ukraine and Russia account for about 25 percent of all oak top layers produced for the European market and the shortage of oak in general and parquet floors in particular starts being noticeable on the market, jeopardizing many construction projects that face the risk of major delays due to canceled deliveries of traditional wood floors.

The Woodura surface technology maximizes the amount of square meters than can be produced from every log. By using sliced wood instead of solid wood, 10 times more flooring can be produced from the same amount of lumber compared to traditional engineered wood flooring and 30 times more flooring compared to solid wood flooring. The surface created also provide outstanding impact and wear resistance, making hardened wood floors truly worry-free.
