Cranford, NJ, May 22, 2006--Kaindl USA Corporation has announced the appointment of flooring industry veteran Sam L. Green to the newly created post of director of sales for Kaindl One laminate distribution.

Says president Mone, ³Sam Green¹s appointment supports our stated philosophy about the importance of the distributor and the retailer. Kaindl One provides new perspectives in profitability built on innovative laminate fashions and superior, differentiated quality choices."
