Growth for European parquet market

The parquet market in Europe grew by 5 per cent in 2004 according to estimates made by FEP, the European association of parquet manufacturers. This came as confirmation of the tendency towards growth that became evident in 2003 after two years of stagnation. A continuation of this positive development is also foreseen for 2005. Sales of parquet increased to 88.5 mio m² in the traditional FEP countries last year.
