>>> The European Parquet Industries in 2008 >>>

   

Euparal is an international association of parquet importers and / or distributors.

Euparal was founded by a group of four companies:
Chetham Timber (Ireland), Hardvidarval (Iceland), Promoketa (Spain) and Woodpecker (Holland).
This group foresaw in 1989 the need of international exchange between parquet importers and distributors. Originally the association focused on Europe and started with four members. In 2009 there are 11 members, 10 in Europe and 1 in Canada. Since the association was incorporated in the Netherlands it is governed by Dutch law. The first chairman was Robbert Otto of Woodpecker. Nowadays the board is: Carlo Cavinato (chairman), Matjaz Stefan (treasurer) and Jos Krijnen (secretary).

The aims of the association are:
to promote (the use of) wooden flooring in general
to inform each other with the exchange of product, market and technical information
to provide mutual assistance in 'out-of-stock-situations'
to have two general meetings per annum located in membership countries
to have members which qualify as stock keeping wooden flooring importers and / or distributors
to have a member in each country of Europe
   
Membership obligations are:
