With OLBRICH you can rely on state-of-the-art technology and decades of experience from hundreds of reference plants in the floor covering industry worldwide. Therefore, you can always rely on the high reliability, efficiency and flexibility of your machines.
In close cooperation with you, our machinery experts implement systems for each of your process steps: from multi-layer product construction through surface finishing to the winding or packing of ready-to-sell floor covering rolls or tiles. Thanks to our expert process engineering advice, you know right from the start what is important for your new systems.
Over the past 70 years, OLBRICH has realized many innovations for the floor covering industry: from the world’s first five-metre wide coating lines for heterogeneous PVC floor coverings to the introduction of consistent inline production and in-register embossing (EIR – embossing in register) for luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) and cushioned vinyls (CV).
With coating lines from OLBRICH, you benefit from consistent process optimizations, ease of maintenance and optimum process windows with regard to your coating media. The variety of different coating processes allows you to easily create innovative and flexible floor coverings that set you apart from the competition: In addition to common CV floor coverings, also for state-of-the-art LVT, PVC-free products or carpet tiles with special backings.
As an experienced supplier of complete coating and drying systems, OLBRICH can also offer you tailor made systems. This ensures maximum efficiency for your production.
