Q.E.P., the corporate arm of brands including QEP, announced it has completed the acquisition of Flooring Trade Supplies (FTS), an accessory distributor in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Southern Cross Building Products and Trublack Holding Limited have come together to offer their unique products into each other's global distribution networks.
