Bjelin supports Ukraine

Bjelin condemns the unprovoked Russian aggressions, a mockery of international law and a direct attack on democratic values.

Russia's unprovoked war against Ukraine has created a humanitarian crisis. Putin bears full responsibility for the loss of tens of thousands of lives and the many more injured and homeless.

- Bjelin and the rest of the group fully support the sanctions imposed by Sweden, the EU, and other allied countries against Putin's Russia. Therefore, with immediate effect, all sales to Russia and Belarus will be terminated. The Group is still investigating how the various companies can effectively assist in this situation. In addition, Ukraine and its people need all the help they can get, both financially and for their defence. - says Darko Pervan CEO Pervanovo Invest AB, Bjelin's owner company.

As a first step in financially supporting Ukraine, Bjelin has donated to the Red Cross and to the UNHCR, which supports people on the run. In addition, Bjelin will also donate some of the proceeds from online sales to help Ukraine.

Many Swedish companies have shown their support for Ukraine, sent their aid and condemned Russia's actions. Bjelin would like to see more companies in business Sweden choose to follow this line and that the trend of increased support for Ukraine continues. This affects us all.

Bjelin will counter the general scarcity of building materials that affects the construction and flooring industry by increasing the investments in its production capabilities.

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.
