In harmony

"I want to create an awareness of natural perfection," says Ruthard Männle, the founder of pur natur. In 1988, the family business was established in Zell am Harmersbach, a picturesquely located town in the Black Forest valley. The closeness to the forest, the sense of quality and the competence in wood processing link pur natur as a premium supplier of plank flooring. For the high-quality refined solid wood planks, the team accompanies the process from the tree to the floor: each trunk of oak or Douglas fir wood comes from sustainable forestry with regional roots and is carefully inspected before further processing. Out of respect for nature, pur natur is the first and only manufacturer in the world to introduce a transparent certificate of origin for its products. In addition to the incomparably warm feel and timeless look of solid wood, the planks offer matchless durability in any architecture: all pur natur surfaces can be refurbished again and again, creating a new appreciation for natural products with character that can accompany people for a lifetime.
