Our History

BN International was established in 1926 under the original name of Balatum NV, at first as a sales organisation of felt base groundsheets which were produced in Belgium. In 1929 the 'Nederlandse Vloerzeilfabriek' (Dutch Groundsheet Factory) is acquired, whereafter Balatum is able to use the label 'produced in Holland'. Due to a decreasing demand during the economic crisis of the '30s, a transition is made in the post-war period, to the production of bookbinding cloth and wallcovering materials.

On the 1st of January 1979 the company name is officially changed to BN International. In the following years, production of residential wallcovering is added to the product portfolio. In 1994, Platex (Czech Republic) is acquired, fulfilling the demand for emery cloth. A few years later, BN International expands further with the acquisition of Tektura, a distributor of contract wallcoverings in the UK. Our high quality products are nowadays sold all over the world through our wide network of distributors. In the Netherlands and Germany, Voca BV (a 100% subsidiary of BN International) is responsible for the distribution of residential wallcoverings for the consumer market.
