Len Andolino Named President of Couristan
Fort Lee, NJ, September 5, 2024-Couristan-a manufacturer, importer and distributor of fine area rugs, broadloom and custom carpets for the residential and hospitality markets-has announced the expansion of its leadership team with the hiring of Len Andolino as president. Andolino brings over three decades of sales, product development, strategic planning and merchandising initiative experience in the flooringcovering industry.
As a multi-generational business that was established in 1926 and grounded on the foundation of quality and designer-driven styled products, Couristan, has begun the process of establishing a blueprint for its future as it drives towards its 100th anniversary. This strategic hire will further the company’s ability to capitalize on opportunities within the rapidly changing floorcovering marketplaces as the company continues to focus on the development and manufacturing of innovative products that are reflective of the Couristan brand while meeting demands from the market for quality area rugs and broadloom products.
Andolino joins Couristan from The Dixie Group’s decorative division. Andolino states, “my intention after resigning from The Dixie Group was to start my own consulting practice, but the draw to re-join Couristan in this role was very inviting. There is no doubt that the Couristan team and its leadership have been very important to me over the years, it’s truly the honor of my life to lead this iconic company into the future.”
In recent years the company has made some key leadership investments including the appointment of Bob Tucci as executive vice president of broadloom. Tucci will now serve the company as executive vice president of residential sales and will lead Couristan’s exploration and strategic development of new business opportunities within all account segments for the company’s residential broadloom and area rug product portfolios. Tucci will be reporting to Andolino.
