Summit International Flooring

What Summit International Flooring does

Summit International Flooring is a privately-held specialty flooring distributor founded in 2003 and headquartered in Whippany, New Jersey, with sales offices in New York City and a fabrication/distribution warehouse in Georgia. The company sources and distributes premium sustainable flooring and wall-covering materials from international manufacturers on an exclusive or primary basis for the North American market, with a primary customer base of architects and interior designers specifying products for commercial and high-end residential projects.

Its core offering spans seven material categories: carpet (Jabo sisal/natural fiber, Jacaranda handmade luxury, OBJECT CARPET, Van Besouw, plus its own New Mark Carpet brand), cork and recycled leather (Granorte, EcoDomo, Elegance), EPDM rubber flooring across fourteen design collections, ReadyRazzo pre-cast terrazzo tiles, artificial turf (Edel Grass, GrassPartners), woven and luxury vinyl (Vertisol, Dura Crete, Dura Wood), and wallcoverings. Technology differentiation centers on proprietary distribution rights to material innovations — notably OBJECT CARPET's DUO endlessly-recyclable carpet platform (full 1,000+ SKU conversion targeted by 2026) and ReadyRazzo's pre-cast terrazzo system that achieves a monolithic poured look without specialty installers — alongside custom fabrication capabilities including water-jet-cut rubber logos and hand-serged rug edging in its Georgia facility.

The business operates as a consultative, sales-led distributor. Revenue flows through two streams: one-time product sales of imported flooring materials and associated professional services for specification consulting, sample distribution, and installation support for enterprise projects. Pricing is quote-based with project-level customization; free samples are provided as a top-of-funnel acquisition tool alongside virtual product presentations targeting design firms. Named enterprise customers span automotive, aviation, healthcare, education, finance, pharma, and luxury hospitality — specified through architect/designer intermediaries rather than direct enterprise contracts.
