About Us

Kronotex Australia exclusively distributes laminate flooring and the associated products for the KronoGroup Switzerland. 

Our business is to serve a select group of distributors and retailers, and to provide information and direction to consumers interested in our prouducts.

We maintain inventories in Brisbane, Perth and Auckland, and conduct business throughout Australia and New Zealand.

The roots of the KronoGroup Switzerland reach back to the construction of a sawmill in Lungotz, Austria in 1897.  The sole ownership of the compnay has always remained within the founding family and today the total annual sales revenue of the group exceeds the equivalent of AUD$1 billion.  With headquarters in Lucern, Switzerland, the group operates nine independent manufacturing plants in Europe.

The largest of these factories is based in Heiligengrabe, Germany and is in actual fact a series of vertically integrated factories which manufacture virtually all of the component parts of the finished products within the same or adjacent factories.

The primary products are particleboard, MDF and OSB wood panels; decorative, wear resistant and balancing melamine impregnated overlays and thermosetting resins.  These primary components are then further fabricated by laminating, finishing, cutting and machining to create products such as the laminate flooring, cabinet and furniture parts, wall panelling and structural building panels for sale to construction, industrial and consumer markets.

The group currently operates a total of twenty laminate flooring lines on an annual 7 day, 52 week schedule.  Kronotex Fussboden alone manufactures over 55 million square metres annually, making it the world's largest laminate flooring factory. 

It is because of this large scale, vertically integrated cost structure and the use of the most advanced, automated high speed technology available that enables Kronotex to deliver the highest quality products at the lowest cost possible to over 80 countries around the world.
