Manchester, NH , Jan. 3--Following a unanimous decision endorsed by members of CarpetMax Canada, the floorcovering association has officially changed its name to Flooring Canada.
Randy McHolm, vice president of Flooring Canada, said, "With what we feel is the best merchandise and selling system available to independent floor covering dealers today, Flooring Canada and Flooring America are the two strongest brand names to carry our programs forward with our members in the floor covering industry today."
In the year since CarpetMax Canada entered a cooperative association with Flooring America, a division of CCA Global Partners, a number of common branded programs originated by Flooring America have been introduced to the Canadian market.
"We're delighted to have Flooring Canada as an official member of the Flooring America family," said Evan Hackel, Flooring America president. "They have been using the same programs and carrying the same product mix within their stores for some time and want to be identified as having more than just carpet. Now, the brand on the outside of the store better represents what's inside."
The decision to rename the association was revealed to members at the group¹s recent member session in Winnipeg.
