Quick-Step To Change Name

Thomasville, NC, June 27--The maker of Quick-Step flooring products in Thomasville will change its name to Unilin Flooring on July 1, the company announced on Monday. Quick-Step entered the U.S. laminate flooring market in 2001, but the new Unilin Flooring name is to help the company garner attention for its market dominance in Europe through parent company Unilin Decor of Belgium. "The evolution of the name is an acknowledgment of Unilin Flooring's industry insight and its clear focus on the research and production of the highest quality laminate flooring on the market," said Ken Peden, executive vice president of sales and marketing for Quick-Step.
