The Gerflor Group designs, manufactures and markets complete solutions for resilient flooring, wall coverings and specialised accessibility components, offering integrated systems from installation through to finishing for both professionals and consumers. Its portfolio delivers high technical performance, decorative appeal and environmentally responsible solutions tailored to the specific requirements of every market segment. Gerflor's greatest strength lies in its expertise across four core areas: Architecture, Interior Design, Sports and Technical Flooring.
Gerflor is a French company headquartered in Villeurbanne, near Lyon. The company's origins date back to 1937 with the launch of the Mipolam brand, the first homogeneous PVC flooring. This was soon followed by brands that have shaped the history of PVC flooring, including Batifoles, introduced in 1948 as the first flooring specifically developed for aircraft; Taraflex, launched in 1947 and now the sports flooring of choice for Olympic competitions; and Gerflex, the revolutionary self-adhesive flooring introduced in 1985. All Gerflor manufacturing sites are certified to ISO 14001 environmental management standards.
Environmental quality is one of Gerflor's highest priorities. The company incorporates recycled materials across all product ranges, while its latest generation of loose-lay flooring significantly reduces the need for adhesives and facilitates recovery and recycling at the end of the product's life cycle. In addition, Gerflor solutions are easy to maintain throughout their service life and, when installed, contribute towards achieving credits for the leading green building certification schemes recognised across Europe and worldwide.
