New Unified Brand Combines Galleher, Duffy and Trinity Hardwood, Sets Stage for Future Transformation

/EIN News/ -- LIVONIA, Mich., Jan. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Artivo Surfaces, a leader in flooring innovation, is unifying Galleher, Tom Duffy and Trinity Hardwood into a single entity under the brand name Galleher Duffy. By combining Galleher’s expertise in hardwood flooring, Tom Duffy’s industry-leading Pro-Model of installation supplies, and Trinity Hardwood’s product portfolio, this strategic consolidation launches the company into a new era in flooring distribution, uniting the strengths of three iconic companies to establish a best-in-class flooring powerhouse.

Virginia Tile, another Artivo Surfaces company, will continue to operate as a separate division.

“Galleher Duffy brings together decades of expertise, proven best practices and cutting-edge technologies, all designed to exceed customer expectations,” said Sunil Palakodati, CEO of Artivo Surfaces.

The new Galleher Duffy brand, alongside Virginia Tile, will debut at The International Surface Event (TIS), which begins January 29, and will be on display at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in February, where the companies will showcase their integrated expertise and expanded product offerings under the Artivo Surfaces umbrella.

“Galleher Duffy represents the alignment of shared values, dedication and an unwavering commitment to excellence,” said Rick Coates, President of Galleher Duffy. “We honor the legacy of these three remarkable companies while building a dynamic organization that will set new benchmarks for design, service and success in the flooring industry. Galleher Duffy marks an exciting new chapter with a vision for growth and innovation, all supported by the strength of Artivo Surfaces.”

In addition to the new name, the new Galleher Duffy marks a transformation for the company spanning operations, logistics, sales, customer service, product development, marketing and real estate, all designed to streamline efficiencies, elevate service and enhance value.

“This is more than a rebrand,” said Palakodati. “This move marks a bold, strategic leap forward to position both Galleher Duffy and Artivo Surfaces as undisputed leaders in the flooring industry.”
