INPA Parket, when parquet has to be 'good'
INPA Parket is a worldwide company of Dutch origin, with its own production facilities in Paraguay and Bolivia, South America. For years now INPA Parket has been exporting its high quality flooring all over the world. Our parquet is produced with European technology under European management.
Therefore you will find INPA Parket's wooden flooring being used on all continents in a wide variety of wood and flooring types. Our own factories give us the opportunity to be flexible to meet the market specifications. INPA Parket also imports on a global scale from carefully selected suppliers. We have strong ties with our foreign suppliers, meaning our suppliers are highly reliable and the foreign manufacturers produce according to the different market specifications.
Our large warehouses in both the Netherlands and Paraguay enable us to supply most of our products directly from stock. Because of the strategic location in the Netherlands we are able to deliver the flooring of your choice throughout the whole of Europe within a few days.
Respect for human life and nature
INPA Parket strongly believes in giving back what you take from nature. We are proud owners of 30,000 hectares of forest in Bolivia. Without doubt this is a great responsibility. We are FSC® certified, from harvesting to finished product. SCS-CoC-000449. And we make sustainable agreements with the local population. Before we settled in Bolivia the area was very hard to reach. Now there is a complete road, water and energy infrastructure. And only selective harvesting takes place.
Mapping out every tree
All trees are mapped out gradually. Our forest is divided into blocks. Trees are harvested selectively in each block. The block is then closed for at least 25 years and accessible only to scientists carrying out research. Each surveyed tree and harvested log bears a label that accompanies it permanently through the entire processing to finished product.
Reforestation
Till 2004 Paraguay was third in the list of countries with the highest deforestation rates in the world. Many trees were harvested in order to increase the production of soy beans and to intensify cattle breeding. Reforestation is crucial to stop erosion and to restore the balance of the ecosystem. INPA Parket feels responsible for this and therefore takes part in several reforestation projects in Paraguay.
