Baruth/Mark, January 19, 2024 On December 16, 2023, the CLASSEN Group took part in the Christmas market for clubs in Baruth/Mark. The proceeds from the sale of mulled wine and candy floss were collected specifically for charitable purposes. On January 19, 2024, the management of the CLASSEN Group, represented by Mr. Carsten Buhlmann, presented a donation of €400.00 to the Baruth children's fire department.

The Baruth children's fire department was extremely grateful for the financial support and was delighted to receive the donation. Mr. Buhlmann was warmly welcomed by the representatives of the children's fire department, who emphasized that the donation would be used to provide much-needed resources and materials for the training of the young firefighters.

About the CLASSEN Group:

As a leading German manufacturer of wall and floor coverings, the family-owned company stands for technological leadership and sustainability. Under the motto "Floors For A Better Tomorrow", the approximately 2,000 employees of the CLASSEN Group are committed to a sustainable future in all areas of the value chain. With great passion and expertise, they achieve outstanding results - from the conservation of resources and the long life cycle to the complete recycling of healthy living wall and floor coverings.

CLASSEN deliberately avoids the use of chlorine, PVC and plasticizers for its completely plasticizer-free wall and floor coverings. With numerous patents that are available to the entire industry, the company not only underlines its own independence, but also its continuous commitment to our livelihoods. With CERAMIN, CLASSEN has developed a material that consists largely of plastic recyclates and is 100 percent recyclable. In this way, CLASSEN makes an exemplary contribution to the circular economy.

Founded in 1962 by Dr. Hans-Jürgen Hannig, the family business is now in its third generation.
