Pergo history goes back to 1977, when we revolutionized the (commercial) flooring industry by inventing the first laminate floor. The idea came from a brainstorming committee set up to suggest new applications for high-pressure laminate made by Perstorp, a leading Swedish chemical company. The idea became a product, evolved to a new division and eventually gave birth to a new company, Pergo.
Since 2013, the Pergo brand is owned by Mohawk Industries, Inc., the world's largest flooring company with operations in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia. Pergo products are manufactured by the flooring division of Unilin BV, based in Belgium.
Unilin has three divisions: flooring, panels and insulation. The company employs 5000 internationally and has production sites all over the world. As a part of Mohawk Industries and UNILIN, Pergo has the reach and resources to take commercial projects from dreams to reality, as a reliable partner on a global scale,
To bring lasting beauty to indoor environments in combination with greater ease and a complete experience of quality.
