Couristan, a leading manufacturer, importer and distributor of area rugs, broadloom and custom carpets for the residential and hospitality markets, has announced the expansion of its leadership team with the hiring of Len Andolino as President. Andolino brings over three decades of sales, product development, strategic planning and merchandising initiative experience in the flooring covering industry.     

“I am excited to join the Couristan team in my new role, and to bring new strategies and initiatives to the forefront that will ensure the company’s future and surpass expectations that have already been put into place by established investments and strategies,” said the newly appointed President, Len Andolino.                       

Andolino joins Couristan from The Dixie Group’s Decorative Division. Andolino states, “my intention after resigning from The Dixie Group was to start my own consulting practice, but the draw to re-join Couristan in this role was very inviting. There is no doubt that the Couristan team and its leadership have been very important to me over the years. It’s truly the honor of my life to lead this iconic company into the future.”

In recent years the company has made some key leadership investments including the appointment of Bob Tucci as Executive Vice President of Broadloom. Tucci will now serve the company as Executive Vice President of Residential Sales and will lead Couristan’s exploration and strategic development of new business opportunities within all account segments for the company’s residential broadloom and area rug product portfolios. Tucci will be reporting to Andolino.
