Junckers is a Danish manufacturer of solid wood flooring used in homes, commercial buildings and sports halls. This profile summarises the company's own published information in neutral terms.
How did Junckers start?
The company's history page says forester Flemming Juncker founded Junckers in 1930. His first sawmill produced an order of 40,000 railway sleepers from beech for the Danish State Railways, and the leftover wood led to the 2-strip beech parquet board, made from two rows of staves assembled into one board1. Junckers states that it is owned by Junckers Holding A/S, part of JFK, employs about 264 people and sells in more than 45 countries1.
The company address is Værftsvej 4, DK-4600 Køge7, and the about page names Køge as its headquarters1.
What does Junckers make?
The site groups its products into solid wood flooring, fixed and portable sports flooring, dance flooring, and woodcare products2. Solid wood products include 2-strip boards, solid hardwood planks, recycled 2-strip flooring, single stave blocks, hex parquet, Whalebone Planks and Twin Herringbone Parquet2. Product data sheets describe clip, glue-down and batten installation2; see our guide to installation methods for how those approaches compare.
