Lancaster, PA, Oct. 15—Armstrong DLW AG, an indirect subsidiary of Armstrong Holdings, has taken its Desso textile and sports flooring division off the auction block.

"Based on a  recent review of the economy, our industry and our businesses, we now believe Desso will be a solid fit in the global Armstrong flooring portfolio," Armstrong Floor Products CEO Chan Galbato said.

Armstrong World Industries, the main operating unit of publicly traded Armstrong Holdings, is operating under U.S. bankruptcy court protection. The parent company is not in bankruptcy.
