Fishman Flooring Solutions Named 2016 Powerhold LVT Distributor of the Year

 

BALTIMORE, MD., February 21, 2017 – Fishman Flooring Solutions has been named Powerhold LVT Distributor of the Year for 2016 by the Floor Covering Distributor Alliance (FCDA) and its Powerhold™ brand.

The award, which was presented at the recently-completed FCDA annual meeting in Las Vegas, recognizes Fishman for its increase in 2016 sales of the Powerhold Gallery Series of luxury vinyl tiles (LVT). This is the second consecutive year Fishman has been honored with the award.

“Winning this award two years in a row underscores the importance of Powerhold’s line of LVT products in our product portfolio,” said Bob Wagner, president and CEO of Fishman Flooring Solutions. “We are fully aware that LVT is the fastest growing flooring category in commercial segments ranging from healthcare to retail to education and we’re taking advantage of that trend.”

There are two primary reasons for the growth of LVT sales, according to Wagner. First, more and more consumers have an appreciation for the aesthetics of LVT. Second, LVT is increasingly valued in the marketplace for its durability and low maintenance.
