HAMONT, BELGIUM – I4F, a group of companies providing patents and technologies to the flooring industry, today announced the continuation of its rapid expansion across China, as well as an intensified focus on Vietnam and south east Asia.

To meet the demands of its customers, partners and increasing business activities in the region, the company has relocated its business and technical operations to larger premises in the JingAn District of Shanghai, China. The new, bigger location is able to accommodate the company’s current, as well as future, employees and is fully equipped to fulfil the needs of I4F’s customers and partners.  The new premises are also home to a new lab, where licensees and prospects can test their products using I4F’s technologies prior to large scale production.

To manage its continuously increasing business in Asia, I4F is actively accelerating its recruitment plans. More specifically, the company is searching for licensing managers for China as well as Vietnam and south east Asia.  I4F is also hiring more technical engineers, specialized in highly advanced flooring related technologies, including digital printing.
