20 years ago, in the fall of 2001, the CLASSEN Group opened its plant in Baruth (Brandenburg). It started with 120 employees. Today, it is the largest contiguous laminate plant in the world. Around 850 employees in Baruth produce up to 80 million square meters of high-quality laminate flooring per year for the global market. This means that laminate the size of a 20-square-meter living room leaves production every seven seconds. By 2020, the first billion square meters of laminate had been produced, which is enough to cover the entire island of Rügen.
