Members of the Starnet Commercial Flooring Network are at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colorado, this week for their annual meeting and to celebrate the organization’s 30th anniversary.
The group reports that opportunities abound and dealers are navigating common industry challenges: supply chain issues, rising inflation and the availability of qualified floorcovering installers.
In an effort to reduce supply chain issues, improve customer service and control costs, many flooring manufacturers are making investments in LVT in domestic manufacturing, and leaders of the major flooring manufacturers say the trend isn’t going anywhere soon.
The 43 members of the National Floorcovering Alliance (NFA) opened their spring meeting at the Grand Hyatt in Vail, Colorado, with roundtable discussions aimed at making their businesses more proficient and profitable amid ever-changing market conditions.
Mark Hutto is president of Certified Finishes based in Atlanta, Georgia, and a Fuse Commercial board member. He shares what's top of mind for these commercial flooring contractors.
Retailers from the Southeast region had the opportunity to see product, participate in trainings to help improve their business, and see plant tours to learn more about how flooring is manufactured.
