Chicago—The National Association of Floor Covering Distributors will now be called the North American Association of Floor Covering Distributors.

Several companies from outside the U.S. have become NAFCD members in recent years, prompting the change. The name now includes participants from all North American countries. The distributor organization will still retain its logo and brand recognition.

“Our industry is a global marketplace,” NAFCD president Christopher Freed said. “This simple yet strategic change will benefit the association, our members and the industry.”
