Our History
Established in 1977, the foundation of Parador has been to provide the very best quality flooring to our clients. With a strong emphasis on craftsmanship and European production, our expertise and know-how have been handed down through generations, producing innovative designs to inspire our customers and enhance their interior spaces. Our two production sites in Germany and Austria are at the heart of Parador. With sustainability at the fore, we manufacture floorings with the highest quality and design. With decades of expertise, our precision and craftsmanship are unrivalled.
Sustainability
We care about our planet and are committed to constantly improving how we behave and manufacture to ensure minimal impact on the environment. Our ecological standards are high, we operate with a transparent supply chain, and we have a holistic approach to everything we do. Safety standards and the wellbeing of our people are of the utmost importance, and we strive to deliver optimal working environments for our teams. Our products are sustainable because they are made of the highest quality which guarantees longevity. To produce our engineered wood and laminate floors, we only use wood from sustainably sourced. All the parts of the tree are used for the different components in production resulting in minimal wastage. By being resourceful with the raw materials it also provides a greater variety of different grades and formats, which allows for a more creative décor result. Any waste is then recycled and returned to the production cycle. We are the only flooring company in the industry to be certified according to EMAS III and have published our first sustainability report according to GRI standards in 2022.
