• Shaw Industries: Shaw Industries (Berkshire Hathaway) is a leading US flooring manufacturer and a broad incumbent whose hardwood offerings and installation guidance shape downstream demand for finishes and adhesives in PALLMANN's category.
• Mapei: Mapei is a large global construction chemicals manufacturer with a broad adhesives and sealants portfolio that overlaps PALLMANN's wood flooring adhesive line, but competes through a much wider flooring and building product range.

Emerging players
