HARO over the course of time

The years pass and some things change: The small family business, which was founded by Franz Paul Hamberger in 1866 as a matchstick production plant, sawmill and brickyard, is today Germany’s leading parquet manufacturer. Other things stay the same: After more than 150 years, Hamberger remains a family business to this day, managed by the company owners in the fourth and fifth generations.

 

Values & visions

This company history crosses an important divide between tradition and future: We continue to focus on classic corporate values such as customer and employee orientation, sustainability and a high level of quality awareness as well as on family values that are rooted in home and region. At the same time we always look to the future. We are driven by modern core values such as innovation, economic success, healthy living and sustainability to shape the future with courage and commitment.

HARO floor coverings

The unique blend of tradition and innovation is also reflected in our HARO branded flooring. We apply cutting-edge production technologies and rely on classic craftsmanship to produce natural floors from the high-quality and sustainable raw material wood – floors that add value to every living environment and transform your house into a home. Our product range includes not only HARO Parquet and the elegant parquet floors in our parkettmanufaktur by HARO range, but also laminate and cork and our DISANO by HARO design floors, our healthy living alternative to traditional PVC floors.

 

Pioneering ideas for enhanced quality of life and living.

Our primary goal when developing new floors is to create enhanced quality of life within the home. With a keen sense for social trends, we therefore focus on demand-driven innovations that offer distinct added value.

Our floors that are suitable for installation in wet areas, such as kitchens and bathrooms, are a recent example. Whether laminate, design floor or parquet – the variants of our floors that are suitable for installation in wet areas create a completely new and pleasant feeling underfoot in all living areas where water and splashes can occur.

For discerning free-spirited types, our parkettmanufaktur by HARO creates exclusive, top-class floors, which combine the best of traditional craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology in one.
