CHICAGO, IL – Gerflor, a global leader in the design and manufacture of specialized resilient flooring, today announced its approved vendor status in Starnet.

“We are thrilled to welcome Gerflor into the exclusive Starnet family,” says Jeanne Matson, President / CEO, Starnet. “Gerflor has unique resilient flooring products that will complement our existing portfolio to give our members the ability to supply entire buildings with even the most technically challenging installation specifications. With the addition of Gerflor to our ranks, our members have access to some of the most innovative, well-designed flooring in the world.”

“As Gerflor continues to expand its commercial flooring leadership here in the USA, becoming a Starnet approved vendor was a natural progression that speaks to the quality of our flooring,” says Benjamin Bachman, CEO, Gerflor USA. “We offer some of the most advanced resilient flooring to an array of niche markets, which includes extremely technical applications found in acute care hospitals, cleanrooms, athletic courts, retail and airplanes.
