Hungarian Investment Promotion Agency

Hungarian-owned Graboplast Zrt. is one of Central Europe’s leading producers of specialized flooring. The company operates three manufacturing units in Hungary, located in Győr, Tatabánya, and Kecskemét. Working closely with predominantly Hungarian suppliers, Graboplast is expanding its production capacity with two major programs while reinforcing its role in the domestic industrial sector.

The €22 million capacity expansion project aims to produce high value-added, in-house developed specialized floor coverings. This enables entry into international markets, boosts competitiveness, and supports export growth.

The multi-year program covers all three sites. In Győr, a new calendering production line will allow the reuse of floor waste. In Tatabánya, production will take place in a new warehouse using modern equipment and waste-free technology. In Kecskemét, a 1,500 m² warehouse is being built, and the production of residential and sports parquet floors is also being modernized. The project focuses not only on industrial automation but also on environmentally conscious technologies, contributing to sustainable operations.

The second, €1.42 million research and development program aims to create an innovative PVC-based flooring system that is slip-resistant without the use of hard particles, easy to clean, aesthetically versatile, and environmentally friendly. The project will result not only in a new patent but also in the creation of 10 new jobs, 5 of which require higher education qualifications.

Graboplast’s durable products – such as the Extreme and Supreme types – have been recognized as fully suitable for gameplay by the International Handball Federation (IHF), the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), and the Badminton World Federation (BWF).
