The story
On 26 April 2002, one month after the signing of the agreement between the Swedish-French joint venture Tarkett Sommer and domestic company Sintelon, a joint-venture company Tarkett-Sintelon was founded. In November 2005, the company opened a new flooring factory worth 15 million euros.
In November 2006, Tarkett bought 21.1 percent of shares for 44.9 million euros, becoming majority owner with 64.3 percent of shares. In 2007, Tarkett invested to open a new plant worth 10 million euros which would eventually double the production from 2008.
In July 2009, Tarkett bought 34.99 percent of shares in the company for 117 million euros. By 2009, Tarkett has increased the stake in ownership structure up to more than 99 percent, forcing purchase of the remaining shares from minor shareholders.
As of January 2018, apart from Serbia, Tarkett d.o.o. has its representative offices in Hungary, Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.
