Our values

We have developed a compass of values that guides us in all our decisions. It determines Parador's actions and gives reliability to what we do. This applies to our company and our products – from inspiration and design through to the materials used.

imageAndText-small

Many people love and feel the inspiration found in products. That is why we invest a lot of energy in creating new possibilities and implementing convincing products. Stimulating developments in architecture and living design repeatedly inspire us to come up with new ideas. Cooperation with outstanding personalities on the international design scene also contributes to the design variety of Parador flooring, which puts people and their ideas at the centre of attention.

Without our uncompromising manufacturing perfection, Parador's claim to creative leadership could not be realised. Products from Parador are characterised by a functional composition and intelligent technology for healthy living. Attention to detail, willingness to develop and inventiveness accompany their production. As a result, products made of high-quality and recyclable materials are created that delight demanding customers.
