Välinge Innovation reports strong engagement following its participation at this year’s editions of Domotex Hannover and The International Surface Event (TISE) in Las Vegas.
“Both events are key meeting points for the international flooring industry, and we are very pleased with the strong interest we experienced,” says Per Nygren, CCO and Deputy CEO at Välinge Innovation. “They provide valuable opportunities to connect with partners across the value chain and discuss how our technologies and support services can help drive business forward.”
Strong interest in new herringbone innovation
One of the clear highlights across both events was the strong response to 5G H/B One™, Välinge’s new one-panel herringbone installation technology. By eliminating the need for separate A and B panels, it enables faster, easier and more user-friendly fold down installation, with strong, reliable connections and fast, easy dismantling when needed.
Technologies addressing real market needs
Across both Domotex and TISE, Välinge presented a broad technology portfolio for resilient and wood-based flooring. This included high-performing locking systems, leakproof joints, noise and weight reduction for resilient products and next-generation surface technology designed to enhance strength, dimensional stability and sustainability in wood-based flooring.
With continued labour shortages and increasing pressure on installation efficiency, particularly in the US market, Välinge also saw strong interest in user-friendly solutions that make installation easier and faster, saving time on site and delivering reliable, long-lasting results.
Knowledge sharing and hands-on engagement at TISE
At TISE, Välinge strengthened its industry engagement through an educational session hosted in collaboration with the Certified Flooring Installer Association (CFI). Välinge’s Key Account Manager for North and South America, Iris Meana Prada, led a well-attended session focused on Välinge Innovation and its locking technologies, with particular emphasis on the 5G® Fold Down installation system.
Participants were given the opportunity to experience the 5G locking system hands-on, ask in-depth questions and gain practical insights into how user-friendly installation solutions support installers and the wider flooring value chain.
Supporting partners beyond technology
As global supply chains and production landscapes continue to evolve, Välinge saw growing interest in support that goes beyond technology. Importers and distributors are increasingly looking for reliable manufacturing partners they can trust long term. Through its global licensee network, Välinge connects international buyers with the right producers, enabling smoother sourcing and long-term business growth.
“The market is moving fast, and staying competitive requires both innovation and adaptability,” Nygren adds. “Investing in the right technologies and partnerships is more important than ever, and we look forward to continuing the discussions started at Domotex and TISE and helping our partners turn new opportunities into lasting business.”
