Antron nylon maker INVISTA announced it has completed the final sale of The Invironmentalists, its commercial carpet installation and maintenance business.

The Invironmentalists operated from almost 100 locations, approximately half of which were owned by INVISTA, and the other half operating as franchises. Many of the former operations owned by The Invironmentalists were sold to local management who will continue to provide the services to their local markets.

The Invironmentalists previously announced a restructuring resulting from a shift in business strategy that called for a return to local ownership in the sales, service, installation and maintenance of flooring products.

“I am very pleased that we have been able to successfully transition ownership of our commercial flooring business to a combination of former branch managers and local entrepreneurs, stated Tim Durkin, CEO of the Invironmentalists. "We believe that these transactions will allow INVISTA to be more focused on its core businesses of providing innovative product and services through the Antron family of brands."

“Although we've exited our commercial carpet installation and maintenance business, we still think that it's important to maintain close relationships with service providers who want to work with the Antron brand,” said Rob Clayton, National Marketing Manager for INVISTA's Commercial Nylon business.

“As an example, our Carpet Reclamation Program is open to all dealers across North America, and anyone interested in getting access to carpet reclamation should contact their local Fiber Consultant, check our website at www.antron.invista.com, or call INVISTA at 1-877-5ANTRON.”
