Junckers Industrier A/S, one of Europe's largest manufacturers of solid hardwood floors and Denmark's largest timber industry has bagged the project of JW Marriott hotels in Mumbai and Bengaluru. Junckers will provide its premium range of Oak Species hard wood flooring for the complete project.
The order is for approximately 2,00,000 square feet, which comprises guest rooms and public spaces in JW Marriott in Bengaluru and guest rooms for JW Marriott in Mumbai. The value of the order is upwards of Euro one million.
“The conglomeration of duo, Junckers with JW Marriott for the flooring is sure to pave the way big time for Junckers into the hospitality sector. As of now engineered flooring industry has subjugated the sector, but this tie up would surely revolutionise the scenario and solid hardwood flooring will be the chosen one," said Suresh Kumar Mansukhani, Country Manager, Indian Subcontinent, Junckers Industrier A/S.
The manufacturing techniques Junckers employ have been refined through decades and are synonymous only with them. The despatch of materials to the respective sites has already commenced from Denmark and the entire installation is expected to be closed by mid-March 2012. The order has come through a stiff competition both in terms of pricing and the technical superiority, which Junckers commands in the solid wooden flooring market.
The Unique Clip technology by Junkers and the aptitude of providing almost all the wood species available makes Junckers different from other wooden flooring manufacturers. “JW Marriott is a perfect project to the brand as ‘Junckers’ is an aspiration brand and JW Marriott is one of the most admired hotels today. Both Junckers and JW Marriott are constantly evolving to capture the nation’s imagination. This association also comes at a time when Junckers is rapidly expanding its market in India," added Mansukhani.
