European Parquet Floor Sales Down 15% in 2009

Paris, France, Jan. 25, 2010--European parquet flooring sales fell 15% in 2009, according to the latest report of the European Federation of the Parquet Industry.

The report said the sales dip was not uniform for all countries, with certain markets performing better last year. Parquet production volumes were also down, TTJ reported.

“Increasingly positive economic indicators of late fuel the hope that the tide is gradually turning and that a market stabilisation process will gain momentum in the course of the current year,” FEP said.
