The 1,500-square-meter lab features advanced testing equipment, including impact simulators, climate chambers, and acoustic measurement tools. It will employ a team of 30 engineers and material scientists specializing in wood technology, IoT integration, and environmental science. Key research areas include developing bio-based coatings, improving carbon-neutral manufacturing processes, and enhancing smart sensor technology for the SmartSense line.
The lab will also collaborate with leading universities and research institutions, including MIT’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering, to accelerate innovation. One of the first projects will be developing a self-healing wood flooring coating that repairs minor scratches automatically, extending floor life and reducing maintenance costs.
“Innovation is core to Limei’s DNA,” said Dr. Li Ming, Head of the Limei Innovation Lab. “This lab gives us the resources to push the boundaries of what sports flooring can do—making it more sustainable, smarter, and more durable. We aim to launch at least three groundbreaking products from the lab in the next two years.”
The lab will open to industry partners and researchers for collaborative projects, fostering knowledge sharing and advancing the entire sports flooring sector.
