Starnet Marks 20th Anniversary in 2012

Darien, CT, April 24, 2012 -- Starnet Worldwide Commercial Flooring Partnership is marking its 20th Anniversary throughout 2012.

Starnet began with 12 members back in 1992. Now, the group has grown to more than 165 independent members generating billions of dollars annually.

The partnership includes members in 48 states and six Canadian provinces and maintains relationships with the top manufacturers in commercial flooring.

“I don’t think the goal of Starnet was ever to take charge of what’s going on in the industry,” says Starnet Member and former Chairman Harold Chapman of Bonitz Flooring Group, Inc.,

“But I do believe they’ve assumed a leadership role. Whether it’s innovation, new ideas, doing something better than we used to do it, I think the members – and the industry as a whole – are going to continue to look to them for that leadership.”

Over the past 20 years, Starnet has helped independent flooring contractors compete on a national stage by providing access to marketing tools, training, online programs an exclusive products.
