Description

DOMEL is a wooden furniture and floors factory, a family business established in 1945. Investments in environment-friendly technical solutions and constant product development have given us a sound market position. To make the business even more competitive, together with our Norwegian partner, Perfect Connection, we have planned to implement an original production technology and a new product – industrial mosaic parquet made of hardwood with high durability parametres. The technology will be patent-protected with regard to a design solution of the sawing machine. The mosaic parquet will be made of 100% oak or ash wood waste generated in the process of wooden floors production.  The parquet will have higher hardness and abrasion resistance of the surface, higher resistance to humidity stress, and surface flexibility, with joints between wood tiles made by tongues and grooves. It will be the only wooden floor in the world (with finished surfaces) featuring active properties of adaptation to the base surface. Any other floors with such properties are made using synthetic materials.

The activities planned under the project are: the purchase of an automated technological line for cutting and bonding of wood pieces, the installation of a PV set of 500 kW to power the new line, the exchange of outside and inside lamps to energy-saving ones, the purchase of development works to optimise the mosaic production technology, and working visits of our managers to Norway.

Thanks to the project our company will reduce its anual CO2 emissions by 751 tons, and the network power consumption – by 0.98 GWh.
