Tom Karol, CEO of T&L Distributing, one of the largest flooring distributors in the Southwest, announced that a Letter of Intent has been signed for E.J. Welch Company based in St. Louis, Missouri, to purchase a controlling interest in the company.

Since this announcement, CFL has began building out their executive team to support this new operation that will employ up to 300 people by the end of next year.
 

To meet the demands of its customers, partners and increasing business activities in the region, the company has relocated its business and technical operations to larger premises in the JingAn District of Shanghai, China.

The Dalton, Ga.-based adhesives and coatings manufacturer has served carpet and rug manufacturers for more than 20 years. 

The inaugural American Concrete Institute Resource Center will open next month in Southern California.

The new offering will feature five of the manufacturer’s most recognizable solid species in the same unfinished form they use to produce their world-class prefinished premium hardwood flooring.
