Unilin Technologies has announced the appointment of Floris Koopmans as its new President, ushering in a new phase of leadership for the intellectual property and technology division.

During his eight years as Sales & Marketing Director, he played a significant role in strengthening Unilin Technologies’ market position, expanding its intellectual property business, and fostering long-term relationships with partners and customers worldwide. His appointment is expected to build on this momentum as the company continues to develop advanced technologies for the flooring and wood-based panel industries.
The company also expressed its sincere appreciation to Van der Stockt for more than 20 years of leadership and commitment. Throughout his tenure, he was instrumental in shaping Unilin Technologies into a globally recognised technology and intellectual property organisation. His strategic vision and dedication helped drive the company’s growth while establishing a culture of innovation that continues to influence its success today.
Reflecting on the transition, Unilin Technologies acknowledged Van der Stockt’s lasting contributions and celebrated his final day with the organisation in recognition of his exceptional leadership and the impact he has made across the business.
