On an area of 35,000 m², the new photovoltaic plant of the CLASSEN Group produces green energy for the production site in Kaisersesch. The massive solar park generates enough electricity annually to power around 1,300 two-person households for an entire year or to supply a soccer stadium with energy for around 200 games.

The self-developed tile alternative CERAMIN® Tiles receives the internationally renowned Interzum Award for its exceptionally high product quality. The prize is awarded by a renowned international jury of experts for exceptional products.

The CLASSEN Group brought innovative design, sustainable flooring and product innovations to BAU 2023. As one of the world's leading manufacturers of laminate flooring and PVC-free wall and floor coverings, the family-owned company and its products play a leading role in circular economy and sustainability for the entire industry. This was also reflected in the booth concept.

For the first time, the CLASSEN Group is participating in Interzum, the world's leading trade fair for furniture manufacturing and interior design. The family-owned company celebrates the premiere with a stand construction concept that makes the leitmotifs of the wall and floor covering manufacturer - sustainability and uniqueness - tangible from May 9 to 12 in Cologne.

Munich/Kaisersesch, February 08, 2023. The CLASSEN Group, one of the world's leading manufacturers of laminate flooring as well as PVC-free wall and floor coverings, will present no less than four groundbreaking innovations at BAU 2023 from April 17 - 23 in Munich. In addition to the licensable Megaloc installation systems and the XXL-format, fully recyclable Ceramin® floors and tiles, the company will also present the new Uberwood® collection with a hitherto completely new depth structure in the surface as well as a new innovative herringbone laminate.

Under the motto "Your Home. Your CASA." the CLASSEN Group presented its new CASA laminate collection at the beginning of the summer. The development focused on the versatile resilience of the flooring for carefree living in modern households. Now CASA is being expanded with a new collection. Classico includes a total of six new decors. The special feature here is that CLASSEN is thus launching the first 7 mm laminate flooring with a water-resistant installation system.

Rund 12 Monate nach dem ersten Spatenstich hat die HC Plastics GmbH gestern am Standort Niederzissen eines der modernsten Werke für Kunststoffrecycling in Deutschland eröffnet. Künftig werden hier rund 15.000 Tonnen Kunststoffabfälle pro Jahr zur Weiterverarbeitung in industriellen Prozessen aufbereitet. Durch das Recycling von Verpackungsfolie aus Polypropylen, die bisher vor allem verbrannt wurde, setzt das Unternehmen neue Maßstäbe im Kunststoffrecycling. Bürgermeisterin Petra Kalkbrenner sowie weitere Vertreter, unter anderem aus dem Bundesumweltministerium, zeigten sich begeistert.  

HC Plastics GmbH invites you to the commissioning of the new recycling plant at the Swisttal-Ollheim site. The newly founded company is a joint venture of the two family-owned companies W. Classen GmbH & Co. KG, leading manufacturer of laminate flooring as well as PVC-free, recyclable plastic flooring, and Hündgen Entsorgungs GmbH & Co. KG, operator of a recycling park with technical facilities for the recovery of recyclable materials.

K 2022, the world's largest trade fair for the plastics and rubber industry, begins in Düsseldorf on 19 October. The battenfeld-cincinnati Group, one of the oldest mechanical engineering companies manufacturing extrusion lines for the plastics industry, will also be there. The company has been pursuing a consistent sustainability strategy for years. This also applies to its trade fair appearance in Düsseldorf. The CERAMINⓇ floor from the CLASSEN Group was therefore chosen for the approximately 350 sqm stand.

It is not uncommon for many sustainability efforts to turn out to be greenwashing, lip service or a real farce. This is especially true for manufacturing and industry. The sustainability report of the CLASSEN Group, leading German manufacturer of floor and wall coverings, which has now been published voluntarily for the first time, documents that there is another way.
