Pergo history goes back to 1977, when we revolutionized the (commercial) flooring industry by inventing the first laminate floor. The idea came from a brainstorming committee set up to suggest new applications for high-pressure laminate made by Perstorp, a leading Swedish chemical company. The idea became a product, evolved to a new division and eventually gave birth to a new company, Pergo.
Unilin has three divisions: flooring, panels and insulation. The company employs 5000 internationally and has production sites all over the world. As a part of Mohawk Industries and UNILIN, Pergo has the reach and resources to take commercial projects from dreams to reality, as a reliable partner on a global scale.
