Wilsonart Engineered Surfaces (“Wilsonart”) announced the acquisition of Virginia Tile’s woodworking products distribution business. The acquired operations are headquartered in Kansas City, Kansas, with branches in Tulsa and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Wichita, Kansas; and Springfield, Missouri. These locations distribute decorative surfaces, cabinet accessories and decorative and functional hardware. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
While the woodworking division locations have been a valuable part of Virginia Tile’s portfolio, the company determined that its flooring and woodworking operations had limited synergy. After more than 50 years as a trusted partner, Virginia Tile saw Wilsonart as the ideal company to lead the division into its next phase of growth, given its commitment to best-in-class distribution in every market.
Founded in 1928 by the Stephenson Family, Virginia Tile has grown into a leading provider of porcelain, ceramic, stone, glass, metal and mosaic design solutions for the wholesale building supply industry. Leadership continuity will be key to ensuring a seamless transition as the woodworking division integrates into Wilsonart.
As part of this transition, Randy Burton will join Wilsonart as general manager of the acquired portfolio, ensuring a smooth experience for employees and customers.
Founded in 1956, Wilsonart is a world-leading engineered surfaces company. Wilsonart manufactures and distributes High Pressure Laminate (HPL), Coordinated Thermally Fused Laminate (TFL) and Edgeband, Adhesives, Compact Laminate, Composite Countertops, Quartz, Solid Surface, Epoxy, Waterproof Wall Panels, and other decorative engineered surfaces for use in the office, education, healthcare, hospitality, retail, and residential markets.
