Progress follows an exponential curve: technological inventions succeed and replace each other at an increasingly fast pace. Additionally, to be at the cutting-edge of industrial innovation, you must equip your premises or products with coverings which respond to stringent requirements. Raising the standards; this is the daily mission of the Gerflor research and development laboratories, and also of its logistics platform and training centre, in order to live up to your expectations.

A research and development policy to meet the requirements of high tech industries

Currently, to stand out and conquer markets, it is not enough to be the best; you must be ahead of your competitors while also anticipating the needs of your clients. To this end, Gerflor has established three research and development laboratories, bringing together 140 engineers who work each day to
anticipate the future and offer high technology solutions. Additionally, because new blood is important for contributing bold ideas, the Gerflor R&D centres have created partnerships with laboratories and universities around the world. This specific focus on experimentation allows us to continue searching for
the techniques of tomorrow and the raw materials which will revolutionise the coverings of the future for your clients to benefit.

Take into account the constraints of high technology industries

High technology industries, whether in the field of pharmaceutics, biotechnology, electronics, aerospace or optics, have clean rooms to achieve full asepsis – essential in the context of their daily activities. To respond to this necessity, Gerflor has gone beyond current regulations to create a solution which ensures absolute ultra-cleanliness: Mipolam Biocontrol.
Beyond health regulations, Gerflor has also adapted to the daily needs of your clients, whatever their field of activity. For those with intense traffic of trolleys, the SPM Impact bumper solution allows walls to be protected from impacts. The installation of these easy-maintenance, impact resistant wall protections
which dissipate the impact energy thanks to their aluminium-PVC two-material structure, meets the requirements of industrial sites where circulation is important.

Logistics responsiveness and efficiency

Finding the floor or wall covering suitable for an activity or product is essential. Obtaining it on schedule, without uncertainties in delivery is equally important for allowing a fast installation without stoppage of your clients’ activity. To do so, Gerflor has created a supply chain based on a global network of factories, logistics depots, administrative services and reliable transporters. Furthermore, in order to ensure an optimal and fast installation, including new solutions which require specific know-how, Gerflor ensures continuous technical support and training of professionals within its Technocentre. Nothing is left to chance in fulfilling the obligations of your industrial clients!
