Interface Honors CEO Daniel Hendrix with Thai Factory Dedication

Chonburi, TH, August 17, 2015—Interface has dedicated its Thailand factory to honor current CEO and chairman of the board Daniel T. Hendrix.

At a dedication ceremony on August 13 at the Amata Nakorn Industrial Park in Chonburi, Hendrix was joined by business associates, friends and family who were on hand to celebrate the special occasion.

Hendrix joined Interface in 1983 and has served as the company’s CEO since 2001.

Hendrix was saluted by Interface associates, including Charoen Usanachitt, founder and chairman of Modernform Group Public Co., Ltd., the company’s original joint venture partner; Rob Coombs, president and CEO of Interface Asia-Pacific, and Sangob Auloong, general manager for Interface Thailand.

The factory has enjoyed growth and success since its construction in 1996. Over nearly 20 years, it has increased its workforce from 50 to 350 staff that provide manufacturing, distribution, financial, and supply chain services to Interface’s customers throughout the Asia Pacific region; served as home to the Universal Fibres regional yarn processing plant, and established a design center that services Interface’s Asia Pacific customers; significantly increased its production capacity by expanding in 2007, thereby doubling its size and simultaneously becoming the first LEED certified building in Thailand; and served as a vital resource following the destruction of Interface’s Australian plant in 2012, instrumental in maintaining the success of Interface Australia’s business until its new plant was commissioned in 2014.
