What IVC does
IVC Commercial is the commercial flooring division of IVC Group, a Belgium-headquartered manufacturer of heterogeneous vinyl sheet flooring. The company produces multi-layer vinyl flooring in 2m and 4m widths, with 13+ product collections differentiated by wear-layer thickness (0.55mm to 0.80mm), acoustic performance (up to 19 dB impact sound reduction), slip resistance, and antibacterial treatment. Proprietary technologies include Hyperguard+ protective finish, Sanitec® antibacterial treatment, HyperGrip+ slip-resistance, Invertech surface treatment, and Performance Barrier integrated layer; products are rated up to Class 34 (Very Heavy Commercial) and Class 43 (Light Industrial Heavy), with a 15-year warranty on flagship Iperform 70.
IVC Commercial targets professional specifiers — architects, interior designers, contractors, installers, wholesalers, and facility managers — across five primary verticals: Housing, Healthcare, Education, Hospitality & Leisure, and Retail. The business is part of IVC Group, which operates 10 production sites across Europe, Russia, and the USA with 180 million m² of annual capacity and 1,800 employees globally; the ultimate parent is Mohawk Industries (NYSE: MHK) via Unilin Group. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of heterogeneous vinyl flooring, with a product-led go-to-market model centered on a website-based free-sample ordering system (up to 7 samples per order) available in 9 language versions across European markets.
Distribution combines direct-to-specifier self-serve ordering with channel partnerships through Unilin Group and Mohawk Group networks, enabling cross-sell of complementary product categories such as Moduleo LVT and carpet tiles. Marketing is multi-channel, emphasizing content (document library, BIM objects on NBS, project case studies), organic social, newsletters, and sustainability communications around the ReCover PVC recycling program and zero-impact-by-2040 commitment.
