DESCRIPTION

Interface is a global commercial flooring company whose core product is carpet tile — modular carpet squares sold to offices, healthcare facilities, schools, government buildings, and retail spaces. Interface also sells LVT (luxury vinyl tile), sourced from a third-party manufacturer in South Korea, and nora rubber flooring, acquired in 2018 and manufactured in Germany for demanding environments like healthcare and education. All three product lines are engineered to the same height, allowing mixed-surface installations without transition strips. Interface sells through direct and indirect channels — contractors, installers, and distributors — with architects and interior designers playing a significant role in product selection. About 80% of sales are renovation and retrofit projects rather than new construction. Interface manufactures carpet tile locally across its major regions, limiting tariff exposure on its largest product line. Interface's current multi-year strategy, called One Interface, focuses on three growth levers: cross-selling all three product lines through combined selling teams, diversifying beyond its traditional corporate office base into healthcare and education, and expanding into the mid-market with more accessible price points. Interface operates two geographic segments: Americas (~61% of revenue) and Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia (~39%). Interface argues it is differentiated by design reputation among specifiers, sustainability credentials, and nora's strong brand in premium rubber flooring.
