SANTA FE SPRINGS, Calif. and FLORENCE, Ala. – 16 MARCH 2020
Schönox
HPS North America, Inc. and Galleher, LLC, announced a strategic
partnership to provide subfloor products throughout a West Coast
footprint encompassing 15% of the flooring market. With annual revenues
in excess of $215 million, Galleher, LLC is one of the largest flooring
distributors in the US serving California, Nevada, and Arizona. The
Galleher-Schönox partnership will put Schönox technology in the hands of
West Coast flooring professionals allowing them to address subfloor
issues ranging from the everyday to the extreme.
As
the worldwide leader in subfloor technology for over 120 years, Schönox
has focused its product development in the primer, moisture mitigation,
leveling, and waterproofing areas with extensive distribution in place
throughout Europe. After making its U.S. product debut in 2012, the
company’s distribution network has grown rapidly throughout the Eastern,
Midwestern, and Southern regions. The relationship with Galleher is a
much-anticipated extension of Schönox product distribution providing
Galleher with new subfloor products for its extensive customer
base. Schönox excels in both the new construction and commercial
renovation sectors which serves as a natural complement to Galleher’s
strategic plans to continue growth in those same sectors.
“We
have been aggressively returning to our roots as a leader in the
commercial flooring market,” explained Jeff Hamar, President, Galleher,
LLC. “Schönox will provide us with best-in-class subfloor products
paired with their team’s strong reputation for delivering creative
solutions to all manner of subfloor challenges. We were further
attracted to their commercial presence and service-oriented, on-site
approach along with the synthetic and hybrid technology; with our growth
mandate and renewed focus on commercial, it’s a perfect fit.”
“Galleher
and its management team led by Jeff Hamar are so highly regarded
throughout the U.S. flooring industry making this strategic partnership
an enormous value to both of our business models,” commented Thomas
Trissl, Principal, Schönox HPS North America. “The relationship will
help both companies satisfy the rapidly growing demand for our products
in California, Nevada, and Arizona with Galleher’s exceptional company
reputation, broad coverage, and superior customer service.”
