Over 150 visitors flock to successful Homag "Flooring Days" event

Pricing pressure, growing product diversity, dwindling batch sizes and uncertainty about the patent situation in respect of transverse locking are all causing headaches for floor covering manufacturers the world over. These were precisely the issues addressed by the first presentation delivered at Flooring Days event in the form of a market analysis focusing on the solutions offered by Homag. Other presentations on offer also dealt in depth with issues such as flexible “high performance laminate flooring lines” and the requirements that the dividing plants are expected to fulfil. Participants also had the opportunity to find out a number of interesting details about “packaging plants, the application of footfall noise insulation and 5G spring applicators”. There was ample opportunity between lectures for discussion and for browsing the many information stands to find out all about the latest innovations from the supply industry. The array of stands included presentations from tool manufacturers and cleaning system suppliers, chamfer lacquering and hydrophobing system producers through to manufacturers of packaging, footfall sound insulation and spring applicator plants. Experts from all these fields were on hand at the various stands to offer advice and discussion. The program was rounded off by detailed live demonstrations of laminate flooring plants in the Homag production hall. Visitors were impressed by four laminate flooring plants currently under construction and their many highlights.
