DFS Commercial Acquires Envolve
The combined businesses will operate as DFS Commercial and will be managed by DFS vice president, Paula Justice, who previously served as president of Envolve. Envolve has been the premier flooring maintenance services provider in the Kansas City Metro Area for over ten years.
DFS Commercial also announced it acquired an exclusive license from Invista in the Kansas City Metro Area for ResisTech, the industry’s leading carpet cleaning chemistry. Cory Ravid, CEO of DFS Commercial, said “There is tremendous operating leverage and synergy in the newly formed DFS Kansas City operation. The combination of the experienced Kansas City based sales and operating teams and our exclusive ResisTech based maintenance program has substantially increased our nationwide reach as a full-service flooring contractor. DFS is now positioned to provide new products and superior customer service to all of our existing clients in the Kansas City Metro Area, and we have an exciting platform for future growth throughout the Midwest.”
Ravid added, “Small business owners, Fortune 500 Corporations, and Property Managers are all quickly increasing their awareness and demand for extended product life cycles. DFS Commercial collaborates with the design community and carpet manufacturers on flooring sustainability, a process which enables us to customize our services to strictly comply with all manufacturing maintenance and warranty specifications. We will continue to reinvest in our flooring maintenance infrastructure, chemistry, and technologies in order to provide the industry’s most environmentally friendly solutions and to extend flooring life cycles.”
Additionally, DFS Commercial announced the addition of Lance Strait as National Accounts Manager in its Kansas City Maintenance division. A seasoned executive with over 13 years of sales and operations management in the commercial flooring industry, Strait formerly held the same title with Product Care Group.
