Global flooring leader HMTX appoints Group President Debarati Sen as CEO effective May 16, while longtime CEO Harlan Stone transitions to Executive Chairman. The planned succession leverages Sen's 30 years of leadership experience to drive HMTX's next growth phase.
HMTX has merged its Metroflor and Teknoflor divisions into a unified Contract Business & Trade Unit, leveraging product similarities and manufacturing relationships while maintaining separate distribution channels—Metroflor through independent wholesalers and Teknoflor/Aspecta through new partner Spartan Surfaces.
Teknoflor and Aspecta products are now available nationwide through an expanded distribution agreement, enhancing market reach for high-performance flooring solutions.
HMTX has restructured its Teknoflor and Metroflor brands under a unified Contract and Trade Business Unit, appointing Metroflor President Russ Rogg to lead the initiative aimed at expanding market reach and enhancing customer service.
Chao and her team will play a vital role in defining the organization’s strategic roadmap for both organic and inorganic growth, ensuring alignment with HMTX’s business units and functional groups.
