For Berger-Seidle 2012 starts with notable vigor and great prospects for the future. In their massive investments in the Grünstadt operation and the technical further development the company puts the stress on the long-term perspective. This is the reason why Berger-Seidle heavily invests in both fields. This, so the company’s directors, belongs to the very customer-focused self-understanding of Berger-Seidle, a family-managed enterprise with a long tradition. New construction: Technology centre Berger-Seidle, about to see the new technology centre finished, is soon going to move into it. This centre will accommodate modern rooms for small and big workshops and expert meetings focused on hardwood flooring. Further there will be a spacious practice area in the technical centre, which is planned for the presentation of the different systems in their practical application. Ample workshop rooms provide for optimal conditions. Extensions for offices and the reception area built along with the technical centre round out the dynamic building. For 2012, in this connection, already a new interesting and versatile workshop program for national and international clients is being scheduled. |

The considerable increase in the demand for the quality brand BergerBond supports this step and creates ideal conditions to satisfy the customers‘ demand in the future. |

| BergerBond® ColorAdd – colorisation of adhesives Berger-Seidle’s product BergerBond ® ColorAdd, introduced 2011, proved to be a particularly innovative solution in the adhesives‘ field. The product is available in the variants as follows: -BergerBond ColorAdd P to colorise the adhesives BergerBond M1, M1S, P1, P2, P2S and K1 as well as -BergerBond ColorAdd D to colorise the dispersion adhesives BergerBond D1 and D1S.

This is particularly demanded when dark wood species are used. The paste solution frees the hardwood-floor professional from keeping in stock larger quantities of dark adhesives.
