Tarkett Acquires Carpet Maker Desso

Paris, France, Oct. 31, 2014 -- Tarkett has acquired Dutch carpet maker Desso from Bencis Capital Partners.

The move, according to reports, will make Tarkett the biggest supplier of wall to wall carpet for offices, hotels and other public spaces in Europe after Interface.

Desso currently employs 820 people and last year it generated sales of 202 million euros.

"This move will extend our product portfolio, offering our customers complementary and cutting-edge solutions, as well as extensive design expertise," said Tarkett CEO Michel Giannuzz.

"Following the successful acquisition of Tandus in the United States, Desso will allow Tarkett to provide commercial carpet solutions to all customers worldwide.”

The deal is expected to be completed this year.
