Swedish wood and cork care company Bona has formed an alliance with Portuguese flooring company Amorim.

Claes Björck, vice-president of the Bona Group, said he believes this sort of partnership will become increasingly common in the future.

“It is impossible for a single company to be an expert in all fields and produce all kinds of different products. If you want to extend your range, it is much better to co-operate with true experts in the relevant field and gain market share through partnerships”, he said.
