Aacer Flooring

What Aacer Flooring does

Aacer Flooring is a family-owned manufacturer of true northern hardwood maple sports flooring, headquartered in Crandon, Wisconsin, with a second operating presence in Peshtigo. Founded in 1925 and operating for nearly a century, the company designs, manufactures, distributes, and installs permanent and portable hardwood sports flooring systems serving K-12 schools, colleges and universities, professional sports organizations (including NBA arenas), commercial fitness facilities, community recreation centers, and stage/dance venues. The product portfolio spans anchored, floating, and fixed resilient systems (Slam Dunk, MultiStage, AacerFlex, AacerChannel, ScissorLoc, AacerCush, PowerLoc, PowerSleeper, AacerVarsity), portable floor systems (AacerPlay), retrofit systems (ReClaim), synthetic multi-sport surfaces (MP Sport, MP Court, JV Elite), stage and dance floors (Programme Stage and Dance lines), and residential prefinished collections.

The company's underlying technology centers on engineered subfloor assemblies with proprietary resilient pads — TriPower two-stage pads, ECO recycled rubber pads, and patented VERT vibration-damping pads (#10,174,509) — combined with MFMA-precision-milled maple flooring. The patented PowerVent Advanced Airflow System (#9,719,268) provides automated moisture detection and ventilation. Products carry MFMA-PUR certification alongside FIBA, BWF, DIN, and ASTM E1745 compliance.

Aacer generates revenue through three streams: hardware sales of flooring systems and components, professional installation and contracting services leveraging its gym-floor contracting heritage, and accessories (pads, vapor retarders, vent cove bases). Pricing is quote-based and project-specific. The company goes to market through a nationwide network of certified dealers for mid-market buyers, direct enterprise sales to architects and designers via A&E binders and CAD specifications, and direct relationships with professional sports teams and large institutional buyers. The Baseman family controls executive leadership with no external institutional investors.
