Välinge Innovation elevates licensing business to fuel future growth

Viken, Sweden

Välinge Innovation AB announces that Bjelin Group will acquire 100% of the shares in Välinge Group’s industrial division that manufactures and sells flooring based on Välinge Innovation’s patented Woodura® technology. Bjelin Group is fully owned by Pervanovo Invest AB, the majority owner of Välinge Group.

 

Välinge’s industrial division includes production units in Sweden and Croatia, flooring sales companies in North America, UK and France, as well as the Croatian furniture manufacturer Spinvalis. These entities will now integrate into Bjelin Group’s broader industrial operations. This strategic move further reinforces Välinge Innovation’s position as a global leader in innovation, licensing, support and supply of strategic components and machines.

 

Välinge Innovation, a world-leading R&D, IP and licensing company, will continue to build on its proven success in innovation and licensing. The company is intensifying its efforts to develop, patent and license cutting-edge flooring and furniture technologies for the global market while continuing to offer exceptional support and supply services for all its licensees.

 

Välinge and Bjelin have made significant joint investments in large-scale flooring production, combining Välinge’s renowned Woodura technology with their world-leading installation systems, including the waterproof 5G Dry® technology, to deliver the most innovative flooring solutions on the market.

 

“Our collaboration to scale up production with our powder-based surface technologies is now complete. Välinge will continue to lead in innovation, product development and licensing, with a strong focus on being the industry’s most reliable partner in these areas. Bjelin Group will be an important licensee, deeply committed to our key technologies, which will drive increased market demand for several of our innovations, particularly in Woodura and Nadura® based surfaces” says Niclas Håkansson, CEO at Välinge Innovation AB.

 

The acquisition is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2025, pending customary closing conditions and governmental approval.
