PROFESSIONAL CRAFTSMANSHIP IN FLOORING AND COVERING SINCE 1905.

Miksa Grab and his sons founded the factory for the manufacturing of dowlas, wax cloth and linoleum flooring

By the early 1910s, the company's main profile became the production of nitrocellulose leather. Therefore, the owners sell the linseed oil-based manufacturing technology with exclusive production rights to Ede Keffel, an entrepreneur from Győr.

After serving the needs of warfare, in the 1920s, the factory's products target the needs of the bourgeoisie. To ensure the supply of raw materials, the company Grab M. and Sons, together with Győr merchants Arnold Teltsch and István Rudó, establishes the Grab Textile Industry Ltd.

One of the factory's founders, Emanuel Grab, passes away. In response to the approaching threat of war, the factory once again prepares for the production of military and war-related equipment.

In the 1940s, the factory produces both yarn and finished colorful woven cotton and nitrocellulose leather goods. In the Grabiol plant, they manufacture various handicraft materials, shoe linings, shoe toe stiffeners, and bookbinding fabrics.

With the arrival of Nándor Jankovich as factory manager, the main focus shifts to artificial leather production. To enable the company to introduce new products to the market as quickly as possible, he sets up his own research laboratory.

Thanks to the developments, the factory's product range increases significantly, including a family of automotive floor carpets, from which it continuously supplies the Fiat car factory in large quantities.

The company adopts the name Graboplast in the early 1970s, which also becomes a brand name. These are the years of major investments, during which new artificial leather and finishing plants are established. The focus of research and development is on the production of nonwoven fabric.

The facility is expanded with two modern high-rise warehouses.

The Graboplast Textile and Artificial Leather Manufacturing Plc is established with 30% Western European capital. From this year on, the company's main profile is the production of interior covering and decorative materials.

Adapting to changes in the global market, a new laminate flooring plant is opened in Kecskemét through a greenfield investment. By the end of the year, Wallis Investment Plc acquires 25.1% of Graboplast's shares.

The waste recycling investment is completed in Tatabánya.

The Grabo 2021-25 strategy is launched.
