Interface

What Interface does

Interface, Inc. is a global commercial flooring manufacturer founded in 1973 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, trading on NASDAQ under the ticker TILE. The company builds a modular flooring system spanning three core product categories — carpet tile (including carbon negative and i2 lines), nora rubber flooring produced in Germany for over 70 years (noraplan, norament, and the newly launched Noravant PVC-free platform), and luxury vinyl tile (LVT) — augmented by the FLOR Commercial area rug brand. Underlying technology is rooted in proprietary backing systems (i2), a quick-install rubber system (nTx), and a circular manufacturing model with 76% cradle-to-gate carbon reduction since 1996, sustained by a long-standing recycling program and a strategic partnership with Aquafil for ECONYL regenerated nylon.

Interface sells primarily through enterprise field sales to commercial and institutional buyers (architects, designers, facility managers) supplemented by an own e-commerce storefront (shop.interface.com) and QuickShip expedited fulfillment. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with revenue recognized on product shipment under multi-year commercial contracts. The customer base spans at least ten verticals — corporate offices, healthcare, K-12 and higher education, government, hospitality, biopharma, retail, airports, senior living, and multifamily — with named enterprise logos including Marriott, Hilton, InterContinental Hotels Group, and Motel 6.

FY2025 net sales reached a record $1.39 billion, with Q1 FY2026 net sales of $331 million (+11.3% YoY) and adjusted EPS up 64% to $0.41. Management has raised full-year FY2026 guidance to $1.450–$1.480 billion and projects $1.6 billion in revenue and $147.5 million in earnings by 2029, supported by automation investments across U.S., Australian, and European operations.
