At the world's largest flooring trade show Domotex 2014 in Hannover, Bergo Flooring got enormous attention to their

chief editor of Boden Wand Decke - Stefan Heinze , specialist editor of Schoener Wohnen - Kirstin Ollech and

about the latest development for the company and its products.
Bergo Flooring finally became one of the 15 winners in the flooring category and the jury's favorite!
“Another pretty amazing thing is the synthetic surfacing by Bergo Flooring that can be used as tennis flooring.
It’s really pretty cool.” My favorite is Bergo ECO Tennis from Bergo Flooring, says Stefan Diez, chairman of the jury.
" We have worked extremely hard to become the most ECO - friendly manufacturer of multi-functional floor tiles.
One challenge was to develop a 100% recycled material which fulfilled our strict requirements for quality and not
least continuity. We succeeded and can now offer our ECO series, which actually contributes to a reduction in mountains
of waste. It is enormously stimulating and enjoyable that we can keep up with the major flooring manufacturers"
