Bjelin floors delivers on its promises!

Bjelin is part of a Swedish family owned company group with operations in Sweden and Croatia. The founders of Bjelin invented the world’s first laminate flooring products during their time at Perstorp in the late 1970s. After founding Bjelin, they went on to introduce the innovative click flooring technology in the mid 90s. Bjelin owns the production chain from the innovation & design stage to the finished product, which is unusual in the industry. The group hence controls the sustainability aspect in all steps of the process - from forests to flooring.

In cooperation with the Croatian government, Bjelin nurture, harvest and administers forests in Bjelovar and Ogulin in the region of Slavonia, where the wood grows close to sawmills and flooring plants. Thanks to responsible state oversight of the areas, the beautiful ancient forests have avoided deforestation which has afflicted other European countries.

- At Bjelin, we are proud of the trust put in us to use and manage the forests in Slavonia which is of national pride for Croatia, says Zoran Mihajlovic, Managing Director, Bjelin Sweden AB.

Reinventing the flooring market

Bjelin is part of the Pervanovo Invest AB Group and develops and manufactures a wide range of flooring products, including traditional wooden floors and innovative floors from new materials. This development is in collaboration with sister company Välinge Innovation AB, best known as the inventor of the first mechanical floor locking system.

Production takes place in Bjelin’s state-of-the-art factories in Sweden and Croatia, where the company has access to high-quality FSC-certified wood. For generations, highly experienced employees have worked there to refine the well-known Slavonic oak into wine barrels – and now floors.
