LIVONIA, MI -- Virginia Tile, a division of Transom Capital Group-backed Artivo Surfaces, announced the sale of its woodworking products distribution business to Wilsonart Engineered Surfaces (“Wilsonart”). This strategic move aligns with Virginia Tile’s commitment to its core flooring and surface solutions business while ensuring continued growth and stability for the woodworking division’s employees and customers under Wilsonart’s leadership. The acquired operations are headquartered in Kansas City, KS, with branches in Tulsa, OK; Oklahoma City, OK; Wichita, KS; and Springfield, MO. The acquired locations distribute decorative surfaces, cabinet accessories, and decorative and functional hardware. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“We created Artivo Surfaces to become the undisputed leader for flooring and surface solutions and this move is part of that strategy,” said Sunil Palakodati, CEO of both Artivo Surfaces and Virginia Tile. “Transitioning Virginia Tile’s woodworking division to Wilsonart supports our priorities of focusing on our core flooring and related product business, enhancing customer experience and further strengthening our position in the industry.”
“This acquisition complements Wilsonart’s company culture and greatly enhances the services we offer in these territories,” said Tymon Moore, vice president of sales for Wilsonart. “We look forward to increasing Wilsonart’s company-owned distribution network and bringing its ever-expanding portfolio of engineered surfaces to an even wider audience.”
Randy Burton will transition from Virginia Tile to Wilsonart as general manager of its locations, ensuring a seamless experience for employees and customers.
"I am excited to embark on this next chapter for the Woodworking Division under the Wilsonart brand," said Burton. "With Wilsonart’s deep roots in the woodworking industry and commitment to innovation, I’m confident both our team and our customers will continue to thrive."
