About HARO

Quality, in the fifth generation

HARO stands for HAmberger ROsenheim — German quality flooring since 1866.

The original — Made in Germany.

HARO is the brand of Hamberger Flooring, a family-owned company founded in 1866 and now run in its fifth generation from Stephanskirchen, near Rosenheim in Germany. The name says it plainly — HAmberger ROsenheim — and so does the philosophy: a deep commitment to our home, to "Made in Germany", and to floors built to last.

Today HARO is Germany's leading parquet manufacturer, producing multi-layer engineered timber to the highest standard. We combine the experience and craftsmanship of five generations with state-of-the-art, AI-supported production — every plank engineered around a solid core, finished with care, and made to be lived on for generations.

Naturally beautiful flooring, in Australia.

HARO Flooring Australia brings that German craft to homes across the country — from coastal retreats to city apartments — backed by expert advice, free samples to your door and a 30-year residential warranty.

We believe a floor is the most defining element in a room. Choose HARO and you choose more than just a floor.

Our commitment to sustainability

The company

Wood processing has a long tradition with us.

For more than 150 years, the family-owned Hamberger Flooring company has worked with wood at its home in Rosenheim, Upper Bavaria. A love of wood as a natural product, exacting quality standards and a feel for modern design are what have made HARO Germany's leading flooring manufacturer.

It is a long-term way of thinking that runs through everything we do — including the products themselves. Our parquet, laminate and design floors are developed and built to last, and our laminate and design floors are free from PVC and plasticisers. The right floor for every requirement.

Energy & resources

Even the wood waste has a purpose.

HARO combines careful use of every tree with renewable energy generated at the factory itself — a closed-loop way of thinking developed over generations.

Power from production wood waste

Optimal timber use and modern production reduce the need for valuable resources. Since 1971, wood residues created during production have been used in HARO's biomass power plants to generate environmentally responsible electricity rather than being discarded.

Hydroelectric power at the factory

The Sims River flows directly through the company grounds and has powered production since the business was founded. Together, HARO's biomass plants and hydroelectric station make the company an energy self-supplier — producing enough electricity for its own operations and around 8,000 additional households.

HARO craftsmanship and modern flooring production

Craft & technology

Made with experience. Refined with technology.

HARO combines the judgement and craftsmanship built over five generations with precise, modern and AI-supported production. Careful grading, efficient use of valuable timber and exact manufacturing standards give every board the consistency expected from a floor made in Germany.

Engineered construction uses premium oak where it matters most — at the surface — supported by a stable cross-layered core. The result preserves the character of real wood while improving stability and using the natural resource intelligently.

Responsibility

Responsibility to nature — and to people.

For a future-oriented company, responsibility means sustainable management and genuine care for people. It starts with our employees — many of whom spend their entire working life with us, because respect and appreciation for the individual matter deeply here — and it extends to a simple promise: to offer only 100% healthy, safe products, to the trade and to you.
