About CLASSEN

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 healthy living wall and floor coverings. With numerous patents, which 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.

The family business, founded in 1962 by Dr. Hans-Jürgen Hannig, is currently run by three generations, including the founder himself, in operational management.
