Amorim to Ramp Up Production of Hydrocork in Early 2018

Mozelos, Portugal, March 24, 2017—Amorim will employ new technology in early 2018 that will enable the company to increase its industrial production capacity for flooring solutions by four million square meters.

Just two years after the launch of Wicanders' premium range of Hydrocork flooring solutions, Corticeira Amorim is investing 10 million euros to strengthen its production capacity.

This decision reflects the customer response to Hydrocork’s across all geographical markets, which has delivered a rapid sales growth and made this product one of the most successful in the history of Corticeira Amorim, with the fastest-growing rate of market penetration. 

Hydrocork’s growth is based on its competitive advantages that have been well rerceived by customers: its waterproof performance and reduced thickness (making it easy and quick to install), combined with the benefits delivered by Corktech technology (thermal and acoustic insulation, walking comfort, body wellness and impact resistance).

The Hydrocork range also comes with a lifetime warranty for home use.

Finally, the new technology will also enable a wider range of thicknesses, densities and widths.
