With a market share of more than 60 %, Forbo is the world's leading supplier of Linoleum, one of the Group's core products. Assurance of the long-term sustainability of the environment is part of their corporate strategy.

In 1998 they received the Netherlands Environmental Quality Mark for their products, Marmoleum, Artoleum, Walton and Corklinoleum. The award’s criteria for linoleum covers the whole life cycle, from energy consumption during manufacturing, emissions, through to waste disposal. In addition, packaging and product information must meet specific requirements.

Forbo’s Marmoleum and Artoleum are natural linoleum made from cork flour (much from the scrap of wine cork production), linseed oil from the flax plant, wood waste from controlled and replanted forestry zones, limestone, pine resin, organic pigments and backed with natural jute. It is an all natural floor covering which the manufacturer claims to be non-toxic.

Marmoleum and Artoleum are claimed to have no adverse health issues, either during production, the products’ useful life, or disposal. The bactericidal properties of linoleum prevent micro-organisms from multiplying.

With applications in education and health as well as offices and public buildings, their new Marmoleum Global 1 collection received various design awards. In the residential area, Forbo recently introduced their innovative collection, Tweeds & Crocodiles.

They are developing new applications for linoleum outside the floor covering area, i. e. products for the furniture industry or kitchen fittings.

Good adhesives for installation include Forbo’s own specially developed 100% solvent-free adhesives.
