Välinge Acquires Production Facility from Parent Company

Viken, Sweden, January 5, 2018-Välinge has acquired a new state-of-the-art factory from its mother company Pervanovo Invest AB to meet the increasing demand from its licensees, while Pervanovo continues to invest in powder technology in order to serve its direct customers.

In 2015, an investment was initiated by Pervanovo to build a high-tech, large-volume factory for powder-based floors with Woodura and Nadura surfaces in Viken. The € 50 million investment comprises a continuous pressing line from Hymmen, a sawing and profiling line from Paul and Homag, a surface treatment line from Bürkle and a packaging line from JB.

The powder technology is successful, and several potential licensees are interested in buying large volumes of flooring with Woodura and Nadura surfaces from Välinge, initially for introducing and evaluating the products while setting up their own production based on a Välinge license. Although Välinge recently installed a second production line for powder-based floors, additional capacity was required to meet the demand from existing and potential licensees and partners. With the new acquisition, Välinge will have an installed press capacity of seven million m2 at the facility in Viken, Sweden
