History

Experience and knowledge are fundamental elements in our production, and based on traditions we bring BOEN in to your daily life. We have been around for a while; check our history and learn why you can rely on BOEN flooring.

People, growth and development
As early as 1641, there were two saw mills in operation at the BOEN waterfall on the Topdals river near Kristiansand, in the south of Norway.  For over 350 years the people at BOEN have manufactured timber and in all those years quality has remained the essential point behind all their labours.

From sawmill to hardwood flooring factory
Over the centuries the people at BOEN went forward, finding the best solutions, making the best products. At the turn of the centuries, one basic principle has remained at the core of BOEN's culture and history; respect for nature's resources. The raw materials have always been and remain the key to BOEN's existence.

Out into the world
During the 1970's BOEN began exporting their production concept and one of the factories built was Th. Höhns KG GmbH, in Germany. The owners of BOEN took over this company in 1976. 
Together, BOEN and Höhns were able to establish one of the most modern production lines for multi-layer hardwood flooring in Europe. In addition, Höhns had a central location in relation to important harbours for shipping overseas and was close to the main markets of Europe - this made the logistic easy and opened the world for BOEN.

BOEN was introduced in the Netherlands in 1967 and export from Norway and Germany has played an important part of the business and the introduction of BOEN in United States at the begining of the 1980's and Höhns in France and Spain were important moves.

An international player
The increased international operation has necessitated the change to an even more streamlined service. In 2003 the BOEN Group decided to bring all marketing activities under one brand name - BOEN. The BOEN Group is constantly strenghtening its position. In addition to production sites in Russia, Lithuania and Croatia, BOEN has sales offices in Norway, Germany, Lithuania, Austria, UK, Ireland, France, Italy, Sweden, Belgium, Poland, Hong Kong and USA.

Europe's leading provider in the premium segment
In 2013, Boen and the Swiss hardwood flooring manufacturer Bauwerk Parkett AG merged to become the Bauwerk Boen Group. The combination of two complementary companies with well-established brands has made the Group Europe's leading provider in the premium segment and the second-largest participant in the wood flooring market.

 

Our certificates

BOEN Sport flooring is a product of natural materials. Respect for nature and for the requirement of environmental sustainability is reflected in our processing and management of raw materials. BOEN constantly seeks methods for processing the raw materials in the most gentle and sustainable manner possible.

Today, more than 95% of all raw materials used in production originate from forests within Europe, that have extensive reforestation programs and either belong to forestry certification schemes like e.g. FSC™ or are working towards certification. In the BOEN Group, all BOEN companies have implemented a chain of custody system in accordance with the FSC™ standards. As a procurer of timber BOEN has an important heritage to maintain. Constant dialogue with environmental protection authorities and organizations, investment in new manufacturing technologies allows us to continually reduce waste. 

All raw material used in production is sourced from forest areas that are properly managed with a high degree of regeneration. The goal is to ensure that all of our raw material is certified.  We invest in sustainable production and guarantee a controlled and certified supply chain. The development of alternative exotic species shows BOEN’s consciousness towards the environment.

We offer products that respect the environment and human well-being. The adhesive and surface treatments that we use do not produce any hazardous gases or other bi-products.

Multi-layer hardwood flooring provides considerable savings in resources compared to solid hardwood flooring. The use of hardwood is limited to the wear layer. Three-fifths of our parquet is based on spruce and pine woods. Sawn and planed chips are by-products that occur naturally and are used in the factory’s heating systems for the drying kilns, hot water supply and fuel pellets.
