Nora Rubber Flooring

Nora® is a rubber flooring company with headquarters in Weinheim, Germany. The U.S. subsidiary, nora systems, Inc. develops, produces and markets resilient rubber flooring in the U.S. under the brand name of the parent company. Nora has been a world leader in rubber flooring for over five decades now.

The parent company commenced operations in the 1930s manufacturing rubber sleeve gaskets and shoe soles under the original name of Freudenberg. The name nora as it is known today is a Latin derivative of the chemist Dr. Walter Nürnberger's name under whose responsibility rubber shoe soles were developed at the time. Since those early days, many applications have since been found for the use of rubber and its byproducts.

Since 1949 the new name of the company has been in use for the freshly developed business of manufacturing rubber floor coverings. In the sixty years since, nora has developed some of the most innovative rubber floorings the world has seen. The company is uncompromising in quality assurance.

The initial line of manufacture was rubber flooring rolls which was followed by rubber floor tiles. Later the product range was expanded to granular designs and hammered surfaces. Today nora systems has a standard range of over 300 different types of designs, colors and surfaces.
