Don't let this floor you: Swedish chemicals and flooring company Perstorp makes Pergo, one of the best-selling laminate floooring in Europe and North America. The company also manufactures a range of specialty chemicals that includes catalysts, composites, polyols, resins, and molding compounds (which it is selling to Germany-based Industri Kapital Group, pending European Commission approval). Perstorp is planning to spin off its Pergo flooring unit in a public offering. The founding Wendt family and investment firm Custos jointly own 50% of Perstorp.
