Houston, Texas, April 12, 2010 – Tarkett USA, Inc. today announced a six percent increase on all of its commercial resilient tile lines, including Azrock Achieve, Advance and Asset as well as all Expressions tile. This price increase is effective June 1, 2010.

“Efficient manufacturing as well as cost-cutting measures and internal expense reductions have allowed us to absorb raw material and energy cost increases” said Gilles de Beaumont, president of Tarkett Commercial Tile. “We feel fortunate that our expense reduction strategies were so effective and allowed us to maintain our price structure during such difficult economic times.”

“However, the escalating costs of raw material, transportation and energy have forced us to pass on a portion of these costs with this current price increase on our commercial tile lines,” added de Beaumont. “We appreciate your continued support and business as we continue to work through these challenging times.”
