Interface is the largest commercial carpet manufacturer in the world.
Headquartered in Atlanta, Interface celebrated its 25th anniversary in 1998. History Interface Flooring Systems, Inc., began in 1973 when Ray Anderson, currently chairman of the board and chief executive officer for Interface, Inc., recognized the need for flexible floorcoverings for the modern office environment. Anderson led a joint venture between Carpets International Plc., a British company, and a group of American investors to produce and market modular soft-surfaced floorcoverings. Anderson established operations in LaGrange, Ga., and Interface Flooring Systems, Inc., began manufacturing and distributing modular carpet tiles in 1974. The company quickly grew to its current status as the world's leading producer of soft-surfaced modular floorcoverings, and has expanded over the past 25 years through internal growth and strategic acquisitions.
