Classen Group: Supply chain transparency in the timber industry
The Classen Group is one of the world’s leading producers of laminate flooring as well as design and vinyl flooring and wall coverings. The family-run company supplies customers in more than 60 countries worldwide and is a pioneer in sustainability.
With a very broad product portfolio consisting of various raw materials, Classen is characterized by complex operating processes, and compliance with the numerous legal regulations requires to present their supply chain transparently. The Classen Group must comply with EUDR and LkSG, which means collecting and verifying supplier data and evaluating risks. However, the manual verification of more than 2,000 suppliers would mean considerable additional work, which would also be error-prone, time-consuming and cost-intensive. The provision of these resources would be inefficient for the Classen Group.
The partnership with osapiens has enabled them to efficiently manage their complex supply chains, ensure sustainability and meet the requirements of the LkSG. osapiens’ innovative solutions have proven essential to maintain the company’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. With the implementation of the osapiens HUB for EUDR, they expect the same efficiency and easy implementation.
