COMPANY
Italian design
Thanks to an innovative design and a long experience in woodworking, we create long-lasting and eco-sustainable products with high quality.
Each parquet is designed according to the space in which it will be laid, to the furniture and customer needs: all products can be fully customized, from the type of surface to the color, from size to shape.
Our wooden floors are made by craftsmen who shape tailor-made solutions.
Our Collections contain the natural beauty of wood combined with our creativity in designs and finishes, capable of adapting to any living style, from the most classic to the most eccentric.
Controlling all steps
Alma oversees the entire parquet production chain, from selecting the finest logs to the final finishes, dedicating the utmost care to every stage of processing. The production of the planks takes place at our facility in Hungary, chosen for its long-standing tradition in wood craftsmanship.
Finishing, quality control, and packaging are instead carried out in Italy, where each plank is refined and certified.
Step 1
Raw Material: Logs and Rough Boards
After the felling of selected trees from controlled and sustainable forests, the logs arrive at our facility. Our team proceeds with the cutting, carried out perpendicularly to ensure stability, uniform strength, and to prevent warping over time.
Step 2
Lamellae and the Sandwich
From the rough boards we obtain the lamellae, which are then glued onto the plywood in a process called the Sandwich. This step is essential to achieve a stable and durable structure.
Step 3
Grooving and profiling machine
After the Sandwich process, the material passes through the grooving machine, which performs the cuts needed to give the parquet greater elasticity.
It then moves to the profiling machine, where the tongue-and-groove joints are created on both the ends and the sides
Step 4
Finishing, quality control and packaging
Once profiling is complete, the raw parquet is sent to our Italian facility for the most delicate phase: finishing. Here, the planks are brushed to open the wood pores, then treated with protective varnish and worked until the desired appearance and performance are achieved. Each plank then undergoes a rigorous quality check before being packaged.
It is this attention to detail, combined with the final processing carried out in Italy, that makes our products truly Made in Italy parquet, ready to be installed in your homes.

The Alma of nature
Alma's parquet comes from forests that we carefully select in compliance with the most rigorous environmental standards, ensuring that the quantity of cut wood is never greater than that which grows back.
Roots, respect, equilibrium. Nature is the soul of our work. We follow the growth of the forest, like a precious creature to protect, and we respect it by maintaining a constant balance between felling and restoration. The forest is our beating heart, taking care of its ecosystem with awareness and respect is essential to us.
ALMA as Soul
Wood is a living material. Even after 100 years, it keeps moving, shrinking, expanding, changing color.
This is why we know that wood has a Soul.
An alma that speaks of wild forest and mother earth.
An alma that tells of remote places, of distant legends and nearby stories.
An alma who listens to the sound of our steps and the sound of our breaths.
An alma that smells of roots, of ancient spirits, of primal instincts.
An alma that speaks to our deepest Self.
An alma that connects our home to the most authentic nature.
An alma that is the beating heart of our work.
