Entering the industry at a time when many were leaving due to a failing economy has proven to be a risk that was well worth taking for DuChateau. This year, as the San Diego-based lifestyle flooring brand enters its tenth year of business, there is not only cause for celebration and reflection of the journey to this point, but the need to strengthen internal compliance and environmental procedures in the wake of the recent termination of its Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification.
DuChateau was born in the midst of the Recession of 2008, with its founders’ clear vision of a flooring manufacturer centered on lifestyle and fashion.
