About us
General
VILOX’s business objective is to develop and patent new product concepts related to flooring. We commercialize our technologies through licensing to manufacturers worldwide.
Southern Sweden is where several of today’s leading flooring brands are located, meaning high expertise in technology, design and patents are gathered within a short distance. Companies such as Välinge, Pergo, Kährs, Tarkett among many others are based here. This is an ideal place to run a purely R&D company focusing on flooring technology.
History
VILOX licensing business was founded in 2018 by an experienced team including people with long experience from high positions within leading licensing companies of floor clicking systems. R&D, licensing and patent processes make up the core of our many years of combined experience. Our first click technology patents were granted in 2019, passing without a single objection which is something rarely achieved in our industry. Today that portfolio has grown to around 100 patents, patent applications and design patents, with widespread coverage throughout Europe, Asia, the Americas, Australia and Africa,

Green click systems
At VILOX sustainability is not only a commitment but a vibrant part of our identity, symbolized by the lush green hues in our branding. Our dedication to a sustainable future extends to our products, proudly labeled as a “green click system for flooring.” This goes beyond a mere product name—it signifies a promise of eco-conscious choices and responsible manufacturing practices.
The green labeling represents a commitment to reducing environmental impact, promoting recyclability, and embracing a circular economy. Through innovation we have removed the need for using plastic as a locking element. By using the material’s own attributes our technologies for flooring are always made only from the board material itself. For manufacturers this means higher production speed, no additional investments in the production line and no running cost for the plastic itself. We’ve made sure the optimal choice is also the greenest one.
We invite you to explore the innovation and thoughtfulness embedded in each of our click systems, illustrating that sustainable living can be seamless, stylish, and in harmony with the planet. Join us as we redefine the possibilities of sustainability, one click at a time.
