Välinge Innovation has signed a new licence agreement with Hoenfong Home Living Technology Co., Ltd., expanding the companies’ collaboration to include 5G H/B One®, Välinge’s one-panel herringbone technology. The agreement supports the continued introduction of 5G H/B One across international flooring markets.
Hoenfong has more than 20 years of flooring industry experience and has been a Välinge licensee since 2019. Specialising in engineered hardwood, laminate and innovative parquet solutions, the company serves international markets and continuously develops new products to meet evolving market needs.
“We see 5G H/B One as a strong fit for our herringbone offering. It combines the premium appearance of traditional herringbone with an efficient and reliable installation solution, giving us greater flexibility in product development and new opportunities to bring competitive products to market,” says Andy He, Sales Manager at Hoenfong Home Living Technology Co., Ltd.
Hoenfong’s distribution partner, F.W. Barth & Co. GmbH, a leading German importer and service provider for the European flooring trade, recognised the demand for smarter, more user-friendly herringbone flooring and helped drive Hoenfong’s decision to adopt 5G H/B One.
“5G H/B One brings clear benefits to herringbone flooring by making installation more intuitive and efficient,” says Sebastian Kruczek, Managing Partner at F.W. Barth & Co. GmbH. “We see great potential for products featuring the technology and look forward to introducing them to our customers.”
One panel for easier herringbone installation
5G H/B One eliminates the need for separate A and B panels traditionally used for herringbone installation. With one panel type that connects in all directions, the technology delivers strong, reliable locking while simplifying installation, production and logistics.
“5G H/B One was developed to make herringbone easier throughout the value chain, from production and logistics to installation,” says Laetitia Kimblad, Director of Business Unit Flooring Technology at Välinge Innovation. “Hoenfong’s decision to adopt the technology is another important step in its market introduction, and we look forward to supporting both Hoenfong and Barth as they bring new herringbone products to customers.”
