CHICAGO.—With a growing number of licensees in North America for its mechanical locking systems, as well as new business opportunities, Välinge has teamed with Claes Wennerth, former president of Alloc, to represent it in the U.S. and Canada.

“It is important [to have] a local presence, especially now when we are in the process of introducing the Wood Fiber Floor-product,” said Darko Pervan, CEO.

“As a former president of Alloc [Claes] has a deep knowledge of the flooring market as well as the technical and production aspects of the product.” Wennerth added, “It is important for Välinge that its licencees receive the best possible service and support as well as are given the opportunity to participate in the new technologies it develops. I intend to play a significant role in the wood fiber flooring concept that will redefine texture, wear resistance and provide advantageous environmental possibilities.”
