Anhui Sentai WPC Extends Protection for LVT/WPC Products

Välinge has signed an agreement with Anhui Sentai WPC Tec Flooring Co., which provides the Chinese floor producer with an extended protection for its luxury vinyl tile (LVT) and wood plastic composite (WPC) products.

Välinge’s patent portfolio for LVT and WPC products has been available for their licensees for over 10 years. In 2012, Välinge strengthened its IP protection for LVT flooring products with mechanical locking systems by signing a cross-license agreement with Mannington. This agreement provided Välinge the exclusive right to sub-license the Mannington IP rights related to LVT locking technology.
