About us

Although today parquet and floors production is our core business, the company PPS-Galeković gradually developed from a small shop for the manufacture of furniture, carpentry and housing for radios founded in 1956. Exclusively with its work and knowledge, the small shop has gradually grown into a company that today employs over 260 workers in two production plants. The company’s headquarters and production lines for solid and multilayer parquet, pellets and briquettes are located in Mraclin, while the second plant is located in Majur, near Hrvatska Kostajnica.

We want our products to be synonymous with safety, quality and elegance.

Tradition

The description of the King Solomon’s life reveals the use of wood as floor covering dating back to/as far as the 10th century BC. Wooden floor coverings gained importance during Roman times when the technique of heat treating the wood with fire and longitudinal stacking were developed. As early as the end of the first millennium wooden flooring could be found throughout the northern Europe and cold climate areas surrounding the Atlantic ocean.One can say that the 17th century was a golden age of wooden flooring, when floors of the most famous castles such as French Versailles were being covered with wooden flooring using a special laying technique (marquetry) which was considered a real work of art. Since parquet was being handmade, only a handful of rich nobles could afford it. At that time, the world’s most famous manufacturers were from France, Italy, Croatia and Slovenia.

Nowadays, wooden floors are widely available so there are little to no households that do not have/use at least some type of wooden flooring. Guided by Croatia’s long tradition of wood processing, GALEKOVIĆ solid wooden floors are certainly one of the most durable high quality floors available on the world market. Over the years we have developed a wide range of wooden floors such as solid parquet and multilayer parquet along with their heat-treated versions that have/with high resistance to moisture and pests. Trending parquets ideal for underfloor
heating are multifooring and in certain conditions solid wood flooring.

Assuring the satisfaction of our customers with our high quality products makes us proud. It sets a high standard that we strive to.
