Bona will have a grand opening Aug. 27 for its Bona Regional Training Center in Rancho Cordova, Calif.
The facility houses a 3,200-square-foot training area with classroom spaces to teach on the installation, sanding, finishing and care of hardwood floors.
It also has 1,100 square feet of real wood flooring, including red oak, white oak, and maple—all designed to mirror real-world job-site challenges that will educate the current and next generation of hardwood flooring professionals.
“The greater Sacramento area is an important hub for the industry and for Bona,” Bona US Director of Professional Marketing Matt Casey said in a statement. “This new regional training center allows us to stay closely connected with the contractors and distributors who shape this region. By keeping a pulse on regional trends, we can better support the local hardwood flooring industry with ongoing training and education in the latest skills and techniques.”
