Bona®, a global, sustainably-driven company that supplies products for installing, renovating, maintaining, and restoring premium floors, has announced the acquisition of Ezi Floor Products (VIC) Pty Ltd (EFP), a distributor based in Melbourne, Australia.

“This is an exciting evolution for us at EFP,” said Chris Heaney, Managing Director, EFP. “As an exclusive distributor of Bona products for more than two decades and a family company, we look forward to being part of the Bona family and joining the Bona Global Network. We expect to increase our product offerings across Australia and develop new avenues of business such as eCommerce as well as expansion of our contractor network.”
With this agreement, EFP becomes part of the Bona Global Network as a wholly owned subsidiary of Bona AB. By joining Bona, EFP will have access to the resources, expertise and investments needed to grow in new channels and business segments. It also solidifies Bona’s long-term commitment to the Australian market.
“With EFP joining Bona, we increase our footprint while securing our position for future long-term growth in Australia and also in the total APAC region,” said Elin Rodenstam, Senior Vice President, Commercial – EMEA and APAC, Bona. “We look forward to even stronger success and growth with customers and our team in Australia.”
The acquisition of EFP was formalized in February 2024 and will take effect immediately. With this acquisition, Bona now has 17 subsidiaries across Europe, Asia, North America, and South America.
