30.09.2026 EmpCo-Richtlinie

Nachhaltigkeit bleibt uns wichtig – transparent, nachvollziehbar, belegbar

Seit dem 27. September 2026 gelten mit der Umsetzung der EmpCo-Richtlinie neue Regeln für Umwelt- und Nachhaltigkeitsaussagen.

Mit der EmpCo-Richtlinie (EU-Richtlinie 2024/825 zur Stärkung der Verbraucher für den ökologischen Wandel) gelten neue, strengere Regeln für Umwelt- und Nachhaltigkeitsaussagen. Ihr Ziel ist, Greenwashing zu verhindern. Dieses Ziel unterstützen wir ausdrücklich.

Deshalb passen wir derzeit unsere Umwelt- und Nachhaltigkeitskommunikation an die neuen Anforderungen an – auf unserer Website, Produktinformationen und weiteren Medien. Dabei geht es uns vor allem darum, unsere Aussagen noch klarer, konkreter und nachvollziehbarer zu formulieren und transparent darzustellen.

Unser Anspruch ist es, unsere Nachhaltigkeitsleistungen auch künftig authentisch und verständlich zu kommunizieren. Die neuen rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen geben dabei zusätzliche Orientierung für die Gestaltung unserer Kommunikation. Wo konkrete Nachweise oder weiterführende Informationen relevant sind, möchten wir diese transparent zugänglich machen.

Ihre Fragen sind willkommen

Sie haben eine Frage zu einer unserer Aussagen oder möchten einen Nachweis zu einer Umwelt- oder Nachhaltigkeitsaussage sehen? Dann sprechen Sie uns gerne an:

Wir nehmen jeden Hinweis ernst und prüfen die Aussage und die Nachweise dahinter.

Denn Nachhaltigkeit bleibt Teil unserer Kommunikation – offen, ehrlich und ohne Greenwashing.

10.04.2026 New sample cards

3 new sample cards are available from today, while stocks last

  • EXPORALconcept 2.0:

    This card brings together our tried-and-tested “bread-and-butter” qualities in carpet and PVC – not spectacular, but indispensable in everyday use. PVC now comes in a significantly expanded range of colours. New in the card: EXPOCARE velours – 8 stock colours of needle-felt velour. All items in the sample card are marked with RAL references for rough orientation. Standard items are available from stock within a few days!

    The EXPO RALconcept 2.0 sample card replaces the previous EXPO RALconcept sample card!

  • EXPOtextil 3.1:

    A breath of fresh air in the mid-range carpet segment. A wide variety with a convincing price-performance ratio! Scanning the QR code in the sample card is worth it – the link leads to further colours!

    EXPOtextil 3.1 complements EXPOtextil 3.0 and EXPOtextil-soft.

  • EXPOmono:

    Single-material products made from just one material are the beginning of the path towards “Endless Life”. EXPOmono velours uni and EXPOmono schlinge stand for all mono-material carpets.

28.01.2026 EXPOMOBIL is now part of octanorm

What has long belonged together is now officially growing together: 

As of 28 January 2026, EXPOMOBIL has become part of octanorm. Two companies with a shared history are thus combining their strengths under one roof. Since 1983, EXPOMOBIL, as a sister company of octanorm, has stood for well-thought-out flooring concepts in the trade fair, event and contract sectors. This expertise remains – as the brand will continue to operate as “EXPOMOBIL – part of octanorm”.
For us, this step is more than a formal merger. It creates the basis for even closer collaboration, clear processes and a stable, future-oriented direction.

A special sign of continuity: Delf Henning, who shaped EXPOMOBIL as managing director for many years, is staying with the company. With his great commitment, his experience and his close relationships with customers and partners, he remains an important part of the octanorm group.

"I am delighted that with this step we are growing even closer together and that Delf Henning and his team are now part of octanorm. Together we will expand our presence in the market and develop tailor-made flooring solutions with our partners." (Benjamin Bruder)

We look forward to taking the next step together – with combined expertise, a clear direction and the ambition to remain a reliable partner for strong trade fair and event solutions in the future.
