About Desso Desso has been manufacturing and marketing carpet for almost 80 years, and during that time it has earned a fine reputation as a reliable partner and creative designer. Today, it has three factories in Europe and specialist customer service centres throughout Europe, as well as in America, Asia, South Africa, the Middle East and Australia. CARPETECTURE® is a powerful example of the Desso commitment to creative carpet design and its dedication to answer the needs of architects, interior designers, building owners, and end users. Desso products can be found in offices, public buildings, banks, schools, universities, retail shops, and hospitals.

Corporate responsibility/ Cradle to CradleDesso has been taking measures to safeguard the environment for many years – long before it became popular to do so. With an ISO 14001 environmental quality accreditation, regular on-site checks by independent institutes ensure the best possible environmental production methods. In addition, every Desso carpet and carpet tile carries a unique GUT test number that proves it passes GUT tests for contamination and emission. We also have several initiatives for re-using carpet tiles to ease the burden on landfill, and our ongoing research programme for environmental awareness and recycling covers both product and packaging. Desso continuously seeks to improve the environmental attributes of our products through product design development programmes whilst our manufacturing plants evaluate energy use and a continuous reduction in waste and pollution as well as process improvement.
