Customer Needs

Commonly referred to as 'Project Century' - in reference to the facility's projected life-span of 100 years - the new manufacturing plant and warehousing facility has been developed with a focus on quality, long-term performance and reduced environmental impact.

This focus on quality, longevity and environmental performance has been applied to all aspects of the new facility - including the floors. The challenge was to find a floor that could meet these performance expectations.
