Under the motto "Your Home. Your CASA." the CLASSEN Group has presented its new laminate collection CASA. The focus during development was on the versatile resilience of the flooring for carefree living in modern households.

CLASSEN makes very good things even better: the manufacturer of the tried-and-tested Visiogrande laminate tiles with their extraordinary decors now offers four new exciting designs and increases the suitability for everyday use with the Megaloc aqua protect quick installation system, which is now used for all decors.

The CLASSEN Group, which operates the largest contiguous laminate plant in the world in Baruth, now uses up to 120 million litres of rainwater a year for its production. That is equivalent to the content of 40 Olympic swimming pools. In this way, the company is relieving the municipal water supply in an area of Germany that has been severely affected by drought in recent years.

. The CLASSEN Group, one of the world's leading manufacturers of floor coverings, successfully placed a promissory note via finpair's digital platform, which brokers promissory notes to interested investors. A loan volume of 50 million euros was initially planned. However, investor demand was so great that the issue was heavily oversubscribed and a promissory note with a total volume of 75 million euros was finally issued. One third of this could be used to extend existing maturities. CLASSEN plans to use the funds for general corporate financing and in particular for the expansion of its CERAMIN production.

Kaisersesch. The CLASSEN Group, one of the leading international manufacturers of floor coverings, sees its CERAMIN material as an important building block for reducing the amount of plastic waste in the future.

. Guido Stallknecht has joined the management of Akzenta Paneele + Profile GmbH with immediate effect. The production company of the CLASSEN Group manufactures the material CERAMIN, which is used in modern PVC-free and recyclable vinyl/design floors, at the Kaisersesch site (Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany) with around 300 employees.

Dr. Hans-Jürgen Hannig, CEO and founder of the CLASSEN Group: "For many years, CLASSEN's philosophy has been to produce high-quality laminate flooring, to create feel-good design, to use the latest technologies and to take into account the sustainable needs of people and our planet. Now, with SENSA, we are going one step further. Our specialists have developed Laminate NXT, designed for today's life and tomorrow's demands."

. "Floors For A Better Tomorrow" is now the new corporate slogan of the CLASSEN Group. It describes the company's established philosophy of the internationally leading manufacturer of healthy laminate floors and the material CERAMIN for PVC-free and recyclable plastic floors.

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.
