Conforce International's Profile
Who is CONFORCE:
Since 2004, Conforce has been dedicated to the research and development of a unique flooring system known as EKO-FLOR™. In 2009, Conforce and Bayer, a leading global material sciences conglomerate, became project partners for the purposes of commercializing EKO-FLOR™.
What is EKO-FLOR™:
EKO-FLOR™ is an innovative composite flooring system engineered to replace the outmoded woodbased flooring currently employed by the transportation industry. The Company is targeting its initial sales efforts on the container and trailer industries which have been aggressively seeking a viable replacement for apitong tropical hardwood and laminate doak flooring, respectively. Prior to the introduction of EKO-FLOR™ no such solution was available.EKO-FLOR™ is significantly lighter, stronger and more durable than wood. The deployment of EKO-FLOR™ will more than double the service life of containers and trailers. The panels possess superior quality and performance characteristics including complete resistance to stains, odors, absorption of oil or liquid chemicals, microbial and insect attack. EKO-FLOR™ will never corrode, delaminate or absorb water. The solution is cost-effective, has a reduced carbon foot print and is environmentally responsible.
