Ludger Schindler (Meister Werke) and Martin Prager (Kronotex) were unanimously confirmed in office for two more years as the management team of EPLF, the association of European producers of laminate flooring, at their ordinary general meeting. Ralf Eisermann of Sonae/Tarkett (Stores and Image working group) and Dr Theo Smet of Unilin (Technology working group) were given a new mandate as represenatives of the EPLF working groups, which automatically makes them members of the board. Johannes Schulte of Meister Werke was re-elected to the position of the association's cash auditor. What is more, the Marketing working group has been renamed Stores and Image. The aim here is to gear the range of objectives even more closely to strategic market considerations and to promote the image of laminate flooring among consumers and retailers.
