Our Journey

From Inspiration to Global Innovation

Our story spans continents and cultures, combining Scandinavian design principles with innovative manufacturing to create a global leader in sustainable building materials.

2002

The Idea

Vienna, Austria

Born in Vienna

Austria, 2002

Where responsibility met curiosity

The idea behind Green Plank was born in Vienna during an international conference on eco-friendly composite materials as a sustainable wood-alternative.
One question stood out:

Why not use what nature already discards?

By combining natural fibers—such as rice hulls—with recycled polymers, the foundation was laid for a durable, low-maintenance alternative to wood. Today’s BASTA- and BvB-assessed boards use 75% European wood fibre, 15% virgin HDPE and 10% additives.

Learning Without Borders

Knowledge before scale

Through early conferences and global travel, Mr. Gill worked closely with material scientists, engineers, and extrusion specialists, including researchers from the University of Maine.

This period was defined by learning—understanding fibers, polymers, formulations, and real-world performance.

2004

From Knowledge to Reality

First production, European ambition

The acquired know-how was put into practice with the establishment of Asia’s first Natural Fiber Composite production facility in Lahore.

At the same time, a family-owned company was founded in Malmö—creating a direct connection to the European market.

A Nordic Test

Entering a wood-loving region

Green Plank began exporting to Scandinavia—one of the world’s most forest-rich regions. The challenge was obvious.

Scandinavian consumers and municipalities recognized the value of a durable, low-maintenance natural-fibre alternative.

A lasting foothold was established in Sweden and Denmark

2008

Innovation Driven by Reality

Making durability accessible

Price remained a barrier. Instead of accepting it, Green Plank redesigned the product.

Hollow profiles were introduced—reducing material use without compromising performance.

2011

Design Meets Nature

A new surface expression

Green Plank introduced multi-colour planks for a more natural, living surface.

The concept was presented at DOMOTEX in Hannover—marking Green Plank’s entry into the German market.

2013

Beyond Decking

From surfaces to façades

Composite wall cladding profiles were launched at DOMOTEX, extending the technology to building façades.

Green Plank moved from outdoor flooring to complete exterior solutions.

2015

Recognition

Direction over scale

Green Plank was awarded Årets Nybyggare 2015, presented by King Carl XVI Gustaf at The Royal Palace, Stockholm.

Green Plank earned trust across Europe as a Swedish quality brand.

The recognition was not about size. It was about direction.

2019

Innovation as a Discipline

Removing what doesn’t belong

Green Plank applied for its first Swedish patent: a clip-free decking system.

Designed to eliminate visible fasteners and simplify installation.

2020

A Strategic Shift

Turning disruption into clarity

Global supply chains collapsed during COVID-19. Green Plank responded by moving production closer to the market.

The goal became clear—produce locally in Europe and sell globally, guided by Swedish quality standards.

2025

A European Foundation

Designed in Scandinavia. Produced in Europe. Delivered globally.

Green Plank established its first European production unit in Klaipėda, Lithuania.

The location offers efficient logistics and proximity to European raw materials.

Production follows Swedish quality standards and German precision technology.

Today, Green Plank is proud to supply the world with advanced solutions —

  • Designed in Scandinavia
  • Produced in Europe
  • Delivered globally
  • Made in EU

The journey continues—rooted in responsibility, guided by engineering.

Manufacturing in the EU

Closer to the market.
Closer to responsibility.

Green Plank manufactures its natural-fiber composite products entirely within the European Union. A strategic choice to deliver reliability that global supply chains cannot guarantee.

Lower CO₂ Footprint

Producing close to our markets significantly reduces transport distances and associated emissions.

Reduced sea freight
Lower fuel consumption

Built for Municipal Trust

Ensures compliance with strict public procurement and environmental standards for cities.

Documented sustainability
Transparent supply chains

Predictable Delivery

Shorter supply chains mean faster lead times and reduced dependency on global disruptions.

Faster lead times
Stable project planning

Full Traceability

European production enables full visibility from raw material sourcing to finished product.

Responsible sourcing
Controlled formulations

Supporting Local Industry

Sustainability is also about people—investing in regional skills and strengthening EU know-how.

Our Materials

Wood Fibers & HDPE Composite

Our revolutionary composite combines natural wood fibers with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) to create a material that outperforms traditional wood in every way.

Wood Fibers (75%)

European natural wood fibres (75%) give the boards their look, texture and stiffness in the current BASTA- and BvB-assessed formulation.

Virgin HDPE (15%)

Virgin HDPE (15%) provides moisture resistance, durability and dimensional stability. The current BASTA- and BvB-assessed formulation uses virgin polymer for a controlled, documented composition.

Weathering background
Aging Gracefully

Natural Weathering Behaviour

Understanding how your Green Plank® products age naturally over time in outdoor environments

What to Expect

Over time, exposure to sunlight and weather conditions will cause a natural color change in our composite materials. This weathering process results in a beautiful, silver-grey patina that enhances the wood-like appearance.

The rate of weathering varies based on geographic location, sun exposure, and environmental factors. Coastal areas with high salt content may experience faster changes compared to shaded or indoor installations.
