Parkettfreund® - Everything for the floor
Company history

Parkettfreund® - Everything for the floor

Founded in 1863, today we are the market leader in the production of aluminium profiles for textile and resilient floor coverings and profile systems for all hard floor coverings such as laminate, prefabricated parquet and solid wood floors. The production of the first metal profiles already began in 1920. In the following ten years, plastic and metal floor profiles were manufactured and sold in parallel. At the end of 1993, the plastic production was stopped and Küberit® focused on the materials aluminium, brass and stainless steel.

With the acquisition of the European industry leaders for laminate, wooden flooring and elastic coverings as customers, Küberit® established itself as a supplier of the flooring industry already in 1990 and thus laid the foundation for today's market position. The high, consistent quality and innovative application solutions have made the Küberit® brand the first address for the flooring industry especially in the last 27 years - worldwide.
