Nesite’s raised floors and their EPD footing
Nesite, the raised‑floor brand of TRANSPACK GROUP SERVICE SPA, plays almost exclusively in one arena and plays it hard. If you sell or spec access floors, here’s a quick read on what they make, how broad the range really is, and where their Environmental Product Declarations already cover the pitch versus where a few gaps may still trip up a tender.
Who they are and what they make
Nesite is a specialist. The portfolio revolves around raised access floors for interiors and outdoors, with systems, finishes, and substructures that mix and match. Think calcium sulphate and chipboard cores, a sintered‑core Twin Floor line, sealed and healthcare‑ready systems, underfloor heating variants, plus outdoor modules and the usual pedestals and stringers.
Across thicknesses, coverings, and system options, the sellable SKUs land in the dozens to low hundreds. That is typical for a category where one panel becomes many through finishes and load classes.

Current EPD coverage in one glance
The core panels are covered. EPD Italy lists product‑specific declarations for chipboard‑core panels with multiple finishes expiring September 27, 2029, and Twin Floor ceramic‑core panels on the same 2029 horizon. A calcium sulphate panel EPD runs to April 4, 2027 (EPD Italy, 2024 and 2022) (EPD Italy, 2024).
Translation for commercial teams. In offices, labs, and retail buildouts, those EPDs cover the lion’s share of what gets specified by area.
Likely gaps that still matter
We could not locate a published EPD for Nesite pedestals or metal substructures, nor for certain system variants like radiant or sealed assemblies as a whole. That is common sector‑wide, yet it can be the small hinge that swings a spec when project teams prefer full‑system coverage.
Competitors sometimes fill that gap with discrete EPDs on pedestals, which lets a team count both panel and support in credit calculations. Kingspan, for example, has a valid EPD for raised‑floor pedestals through March 28, 2026 (EPD International, 2021) (EPD International, 2021).
Where Nesite competes most often
You will most often see Kingspan Access Floors and Tate in North America and EMEA data‑heavy projects, with Lindner and CBI Europe strong across Europe. Newfloor and Petral appear in Italy and export markets. These players sell like‑kind panel systems and can be swapped in many office, healthcare, and tech fit‑outs when documentation tilts the table.
A best‑seller without an EPD can cost you the shortlist
If your bid leans on a high‑volume component such as pedestals that lacks an EPD, the project team may default to a competitor whose catalog checks both boxes. Under LEED v4.1, a product‑specific Type III EPD is valued as 1.5 products in the MR credit, which compounds quickly across a floor system set (USGBC, 2024) (USGBC, 2024). That is a quiet tie‑breaker you can’t ignore.
Product range depth, quickly
Nesite’s systems portfolio includes sealed solutions for wet zones, healthcare‑oriented assemblies, and underfloor heating options that keep the plenum accessible. Finishes span resin, parquet, rubber, and porcelain. Structures offer multiple height ranges and stringer types. Net effect. One manufacturer that can outfit offices, labs, and retail without switching brands mid‑project.
What good looks like on documentation
For access floors, the simple recipe is coverage on the panel families by core type, plus discrete EPDs for pedestals and any frequent add‑ons. That lets specifiers model apples to apples and avoids penalties from generic assumptions in whole‑building LCA. If you can add an optimization‑oriented EPD when available, even better for projects chasing higher valuation.
The competitive angle you can act on this quarter
Map the top ten revenue SKUs to current EPDs. If a top earner like your preferred pedestal line or an outdoor assembly lacks an EPD, prioritize that study first. It is faster to defend margin with documentation than to discount late in the bid. A partner who can work across plants and pull primary data with minimal lift from your team will help you recieve results in weeks, not quarters.
Bottom line for Nesite watchers
You are looking at a focused player with broad panel coverage and credible EPD footing on the cores. The most actionable upside is extending EPDs to substructures and any packaged systems that recur in specs. Do that, and you widen the door on projects that treat documentation as non‑negotiable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Nesite have EPDs for all raised‑floor panel cores it sells?
Yes. EPD Italy lists product‑specific EPDs for chipboard‑core panels and Twin Floor ceramic‑core panels with expiry in 2029, plus a calcium sulphate panel EPD valid to 2027 (EPD Italy, 2024 and 2022) (EPD Italy, 2024).
Are pedestals and substructures covered by Nesite EPDs?
We could not find a published EPD for Nesite pedestals or metal substructures. Competitors like Kingspan have a pedestals EPD valid to March 28, 2026 that teams sometimes use to complete documentation sets (EPD International, 2021) (EPD International, 2021).
Do EPDs still matter for LEED after recent updates?
Yes. Under LEED v4.1, a product‑specific Type III EPD counts as 1.5 products toward the MR credit tally, which can influence specification choices on multi‑product systems like raised floors (USGBC, 2024) (USGBC, 2024).
