    The Floor Covering Institute is a consulting firm focused primarily on the flooring industry. Our
    mission is to create solutions and business opportunities for companies in the global floor covering
    market.

    We are unique. The institute is the only independent consulting group founded from within the
    industry.  The institute was founded in 2007 by Jim Gould, a 40 year flooring veteran of the flooring
    industry.  His vision was to create an independent resource for the industry that would help companies
    and people to improve their businesses, create new partnerships and business solutions, and find new
    markets and channels for their products. Since forming the institute, several industry experts with a
    variety of backgrounds and experiences have joined the institute expanding the options and resources
    available to our clients. The consulting team is comprised of industry executives and experts who
    understand the challenges the flooring industry faces today. They have a true passion for its people,
    products and companies and decades of hands on experience.

    Strategic areas of focus include mergers and acquisitions, international business, market development,
    product sourcing, traditional and non traditional marketing including social marketing, brand
    management, distribution, logistics, claims and complaint prevention, retail including luxury markets,
    trouble shooting and best practices across many disciplines.

    Our perspective is global.  Economic changes, fluctuations in currencies, cost and availability of raw
    materials, political and cultural changes, environmental policies, technology and innovation  - they all
    affect floor covering markets around the world.   

    Our clients consists of manufacturers, retailers, buying groups, logistics providers, distributors,
    associations, investment bankers and governments. We have clients in the U.S., China, Australia, New
    Zealand, and Europe.
