Two major flooring manufacturers said they are increasing distribution in keys areas. In separate announcements, Armstrong Floor Products named Apollo Distributing Co. of Fairfield, NJ, to distribute the Hartco hardwood line in the metropolitan New York, New Jersey and Connecticut tri-state area. Also, Domco said its sheet flooring and accessories will be among the lines now offered by the newly established company Design Tech Commercial Distributing LLC, of Houston.
Commenting on the Domco move, Lenny Wachowiak, vice president of marketing for Design Tech said: "We are a start-up company and, in a sense, Domco is a new brand. In less than two years, Domco has reinvented itself with a solid styling/quality/value positioning that mirrors our approach to the marketplace. Domco is a major strategic partner for us as we position our company in the region. We look forward to growing our sales with them."
