Benjamin Fuchs

Entrepreneur and CEO of Enia Carpet Group

Wherever we are is our living space. We turn this space into our

living room. Room for working and playing. Room for relaxation and

experience. Room for dialogue. Room for thinking and inspiration.

The choice of ooring is crucial. Enia’s textile ooring systems offer

almost unlimited scope for our customers’ requirements and ideas.

Through our expertise and passion for textile ooring systems in

a class of their own, Enia creates room for inspiration and rewarding

perspectives for people who value the right ambience for living and

working.

That has been our focus and ambition for over 200 years. Step by step,

we have developed into Europe’s leading provider of high-quality textile

ooring systems for living and business.

Whatever your interest in Enia – be it as a customer, business partneror future Enia talent – I would like to welcome you. I hope you nd

inspiration in the following pages.

Inspiring traditionsFor over 200 years, we have been dedicated to

translating the individual wishes and ideas of a demanding

clientèle into inspiring interiors. Along the way, we have

had countless encounters with people who value the right

ambience for living and working – some of them famous

names in the design world, others destined for fame.

Enia’s expertise in concept and realisation, the abil-

ity to fulfil the most demanding specifications, can be seen

in landmark buildings by prominent architects in all corners

of the world. Artists and leading creative figures work with

Enia because they know we share a passion for design and

for the unique tactile and sensual qualities of textiles.

An outstanding testimony to this collaboration has

been published under the title “Collection Privée”. Many of

the carpet tiles captured in this work are even on show as

framed exhibits in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.

All these inspiring encounters have been a seminal

influence on our Collection for Living and Business. Like-

wise our international basis, with companies the length

and breadth of Europe, from Russia to Spain: the traditions

and styles of many countries and cultures make their mark

on our designs and open up new approaches.

Inspiringinteriors

For over 200 years, we have been committed

to the creation of inspiring interiors –

for people who value the right ambiencefor living and working.



The visual and tactile experience offered by our high-quality

textile flooring systems is unique and wide-ranging. The Enia Collection for

Living and Business has over 3500 options for creating room for inspiration

and adding personal touches. No other manufacturer can offer this.

The latest high-tech materials ensure the finest in texture and

tactility, combined with tremendously hard-wearing qualities. Natural wool

expresses its distinctive character in an endless variety of ways. Every-

thing is possible with Enia’s textile flooring systems, which are manufac-

tured using the most advanced technology and to the highest standards of

quality, environmental integrity, sustainability and safety.

A unique and

inspiring choice

Our top-quality Living Collections are designed

for modern lifestyles. Top quality for us means maxi-

mum value in the context of the specifications, a feast

of colours and widths up to 5 m, thanks to our modern dye-

ing plants. But we also offer many products as rugs, cut to

any size.

Enia has always been a trendsetter. All of 30 years

ago, while the rest of the industry looked on sceptically,

Enia developed a deep-pile shag carpet, which it launched

as Bonaparte Chinchilla. This timeless classic remains

the industry benchmark and is still a trendsetter today. In

addition to high-quality synthetic materials, most of which

we manufacture and process ourselves, we also use the

best natural wool, as well es novel combinations with oth-

er materials, offering customers new textures and tactile

qualities.

sity of the Enia Collection for Living and Business to your

customers and provide simple, direct advice on the best

choice. The programme is in the name: ePod is an intelli-

gent system for decision-taking and filtering questions, for

example with regard to colours, structures, specifications,

personal requirements and other parameters. The ePod

system leads you directly to the ideal product.

All products are based on the same philosophy of

combining maximum functionality with the most sophis-

ticated specifications in terms of colour and design. The

products satisfy all contemporary quality criteria regarding

wear resistance and flameproofing. The Business Collection

opens up new possibilities for applications of all kinds, with

no limitations on the scope of ideas and interior language.

tecsom

designs, with the option of individual tile designs for orders

stain removal, even using bleach. The Enia Pile SystemTM

sional stability.

tapisom tuftline

Invented in France in 1953, Tapisom was the pioneer

and trendsetter in hard-wearing, needle-felt floor coverings

for business applications. It has since conquered the world

– in 2m widths or as tiles. A world first in 1965 was the

launch of Tapisom Design, the first printable needle-felt.

Apart from in stylish modern offices, Tapisom is also

an ideal solution for hotels, ships, shops and large retail

outlets such as furniture stores. Quality in a class of its

own, whether plain or structured and printed.

As a pioneer of 4-metre broadloom carpeting, Enia

was one of the first manufacturers in Europe to introduce

this tufting technology, developed in the USA in the 1950s.

The technique combines industrial efficiency with the

design scope offered by woven carpets.

Our hard-wearing floor coverings set the standards

in the maritime and hotel sectors and create inspiring office

spaces the world over. They come in an unmatched diver-

sity of colours and structures. Printed carpets offer bound-

less inspiration for creating imaginative interiors. We also

make special products such as impermeable broadloom for

the healthcare sector.

Inspiring

workspaces

Enia textile oor coverings offer designers,

architects and speciers almost unlimited scope

to realise their ideas and create distinctive

and inspiring workspaces for applications

in the healthcare, hospitality, education, ofce

and retail sectors.

Passion

and expertiseQuality and creativity are

evident in everything we do. We devote

all our know-how, experience and

passion to getting better every day.



Enia‘s know-how and experience are an asset

shared by 1300 employees, whose common passion is to

create textile flooring in a class of its own. Our interna-

tional design teams know how to translate customers‘

ideas and wishes into inspiring interiors, and to develop

new and exciting approaches. Quality and creativity are

evident in everything we do. In consultancy and planning,

in design, colours and materials, in creation and imple-

mentation, and in the service that follows. In short: in the

overall solution as much as in the tiniest detail.

Driven by innovationEnia invented the first needle-felt floor coverings in

France in 1953 (Tapisom). In the 1960s, Enia was the first

manufacturer to offer printable needle-felt flooring; and the

Enia plant in the Netherlands developed the first manufac-

turing process for deep-pile shags, still regarded as the in-

dustry standard. Tecsom carpet tiles, launched in 1988 and

unmatched to this day in functionality, have a pathbreaking

recycling process as part of the concept.

Sustainable by convictionEnia is also a pioneer in the fields of environmental

integrity and sustainability. We were among the first com-

panies to be awarded certification under the ISO 9001

quality and ISO 14001 environmental and safety standards,

and to comply voluntarily with the most exacting interna-

tional standards such as GUT in Germany, HQE in France

and BRE in Britain.



Focus

Enia’s passion has always been for textile flooring; our

focus has never strayed. And that is the way it will stay,

for the simple reason that we are convinced there is still

a great deal we can and will achieve with our customers

and partners.

In 2001, we decided to go our own way and establish the

Enia Carpet Group as Europe’s leading manufacturer and

supplier of the highest-quality textile flooring for living and

business. We have pursued this goal for years with a clearstrategy and systematic follow-through.

company with vision and foresight. With clear values and

direction. Committed to sustainable, long-term growth and

success. Our company is not for sale; it is too valuable to us.
