The Board of Directors of the European Federation of the Parquet Industry met on 28 April 2014 and discussed amongst others both the parquet situation and recent economic indicators on the European market.
Though it is yet too early to give a reliable forecast for the current year, the information provided by the individual country representatives indicates that the European parquet producers continue to face important challenges. However, the lights are (slightly) back on green in some countries, whereas the situation is back to a level of stabilisation in some others. In the south, the markets remain difficult. The lack of consumer confidence, a weak European construction sector as well as an ever increasing competition are the daily challenges of our industry.
A brief per country recap is provided in the PDF attached (please click on the link above).
