Winners of Antron Performance Awards Announced

Kennesaw, GA and Darien, CT, May 16, 2017-Set on a grand stage at the Omni La Costa Resort in Carlsbad, California, Invista, maker of Antron carpet fiber, honored two Starnet Members during Starnet’s 25th Anniversary Celebration.

The awards are the result of a joint partnership between Antron and Starnet, recognizing the use of performance-driven carpet choices in commercial applications.

Presenting the awards were Scott Patton, business development director, Invista Specialty Fibers, and Stacy Dobbs, Antron dealer development manager.

The first place winner was awarded to Bonitz Flooring Group, Inc. in collaboration with Mannington Commercial for their work on Concentrix Corporation, in Greenville, South Carolina.

“I’m quite familiar with the challenges faced in busy call center environments” said Steve Spencer, Retired All State Facilities Manager. “From heavy foot traffic to the rolling castors of the office chairs, Bonitz delivered a flooring solution to reduce the crushing and matting of the carpet using Antron® Carpet Fiber.”

The runner up was awarded to Image Flooring LLC, for their work completed in partnership with Bentley on Capitol Federal Savings, Nall Hills in Overland Park, Kansas.

Antron Performance Awards Judge James O’Neill was impressed with the product selection story, stating, “It was very rewarding to hear the client was educated on the true lifetime costs of the carpet and not just the initial sale. Through this knowledge, the carpet specified will more than double the previous carpet’s life expectancy, reduce maintenance costs, and ultimately provide long term savings for the client.”

A panel of industry professionals lent their talent and expertise to this year’s panel and the selection of the winners:

• James W O’Neill, AIA, founding principal, Inventure Design

• Lucy Nye, manager interiors, MD Anderson Cancer Center

• Steve Spencer, retired from State Farm, facilities consultant
