BALTIMORE, MD., March 25, 2019 – Fishman Flooring Solutions, a leading distributor of flooring and flooring installation products, has earmarked March 28, 2019 for a day-long celebration of its 100 years of continuous business success. On that day, the company will recognize its customers and vendors with festivities at each of its 37 branches in 13 states along the Eastern Seaboard and into the Midwest. Additional celebratory events have been scheduled throughout the year.

“In our centennial year, we wanted to take an entire day to shine the spotlight on those outside the company who make Fishman successful,” said Bill Mabeus, Fishman executive vice president. “This is our way of thanking our customers for their business and showing our appreciation for our vendors, who have been instrumental in what we have achieved.”
