The MMFA, the association of multi-layer modular floor coverings, welcomes other players to its network. Flooring Industries Ltd has joined the association as an associate member, and Servaco Product Testing – Joint Venture with Vito as a supporting member.

“With Flooring Industries Ltd. and Servaco Product Testing – Joint Venture with Vito, we are gaining two highly qualified organisations that will strengthen our expertise in product testing and intellectual property management in relation to flooring technologies,” MMFA Chairman Matthias Windmöller (Windmöller) welcomed both organisations.

“The fruitful collaboration that will result from our membership will – I am sure – benefit our company, the MMFA and our colleagues, the other members,” said Bart Van der Stockt, Managing Director of Flooring Industries Ltd. The company, which also operates under the name Unilin, Division Technologies, manages and markets the innovations and intellectual assets of the Unilin and Mohawk Group, and to date manages more than 2,000 patents in over 300 patent families.

Marc Lor, Managing Director of Servaco Product Testing – Joint Venture with Vito, said that “the company values the MMFA’s high calibre membership community. We are therefore keen to bring our expertise in the field of product emission testing to the association’s knowledge pool”. Founded in March 2019, the Belgian-based company provides laboratory and consultancy services in the niche market of product emission testing and performance testing for the reduction of volatile organic compounds. Product emission testing analyses the impact of all types of building and consumer products and materials on indoor air quality.

With the addition of Flooring Industries Ltd and Servaco Product Testing – Joint Venture with Vito, the MMFA now has 25 full members (manufacturers of MMF flooring or their European representative bodies), 28 associate members (suppliers) and three supporting members (scientific institutes).
