Bjelin acquires the Croatian furniture producer Spin Valis

Pervanovo Invest AB, the parent company of Bjelin industries in Croatia and Välinge Group in Sweden, has through its subsidiary Välinge Croatia signed an agreement to acquire 85% of the shares in the Croatian furniture company Spin Valis. The intention is to acquire 100% of the shares.

Ogulin 2 factory is under construction next to the parquet flooring factory Ogulin 1 in the city of Ogulin, Croatia.

Bjelin builds the world's largest wooden flooring factory

Woodura, a flooring technology developed by Välinge Innovation, has become a sales success and demand for Bjelin's cured wooden floors is growing. The company's owner, Pervanovo Invest AB, is therefore investing EUR 200 million in another state-of-the-art plant in Croatia, which will be the world's largest flooring factory.

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.
