Interface, Inc. is a leading global manufacturer of commercial flooring solutions headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Founded in 1973 by Ray Anderson, a pioneering figure in corporate sustainability and ESG practices, the company has grown into the world's largest and most recognized producer of modular carpet tiles and sustainable flooring materials. With approximately 3,570 employees operating across more than 100 countries and regions, Interface achieved record-breaking net sales of $1.387 billion in fiscal year 2025, marking the highest revenue in company history.
Core Business
Interface operates at the forefront of the commercial flooring industry, designing and manufacturing modular carpet tiles, LVT (luxury vinyl tile) elastic flooring, premium rubber flooring, and associated installation accessories. The company's portfolio is organized around three core brands: Interface® delivers carpet tiles and LVT elastic flooring solutions, nora® provides high-performance rubber flooring systems, and FLOR® serves the premium commercial and residential market with design-forward carpet tile offerings. Interface functions as an autonomous manufacturer with vertically integrated global supply chains, maintaining direct control over research, development, and production across its worldwide operations. The company's "One Interface" unified sales strategy, which consolidated previously separate sales teams into an integrated cross-selling organization, proved instrumental in driving record performance throughout 2025, particularly accelerating growth in the healthcare segment where revenue climbed 21% year-over-year and the education sector with 8% growth. Full-year GAAP net income reached $116.1 million, representing a substantial 33.5% increase compared to the prior year, while GAAP diluted earnings per share totaled $1.96.
Global Presence
Interface maintains a robust international manufacturing and distribution network spanning four continents. The company operates seven primary production facilities worldwide, including two carpet manufacturing plants in Georgia at LaGrange and West Point within the United States. European operations include facilities in Scherpenzeel, Netherlands for carpet production, Craigavon, Northern Ireland for additional carpet output, and Weinheim, Germany where nora rubber flooring is manufactured. The Asia-Pacific region is served by a manufacturing center in Taicang, China, while an Australian facility near Sydney supports local and regional demand. This manufacturing infrastructure enables Interface to maintain direct operational presence across major markets including the United States, China, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Germany, with products ultimately distributed to customers in over 100 countries and territories globally.
Key Strengths
Interface's competitive advantage is anchored in its industry-leading sustainability innovation, having achieved the Guinness World Record for recycling more than 100 million pounds of nylon through its closed-loop manufacturing processes. The company demonstrated continued environmental leadership in 2025 by unveiling the world's first cradle-to-gate carbon negative rubber flooring prototype under the nora brand, further solidifying its ESG leadership position. Operational excellence through strategic automation investments in U.S. carpet manufacturing and German nora rubber production facilities has expanded gross margins, while the company's brand recognition in commercial real estate flooring procurement remains exceptionally strong, underscored by its inclusion among Time Magazine's 2024 list of America's Best Medium-Sized Companies, ranking in the top 9% for ESG transparency metrics.
