This year’s show featured 1,350 suppliers, including Styron, and welcomed more than 45,000 visitors from 80 countries.
“Making flooring more durable and more sustainable are the challenges of today's carpet backing and artificial grass manufacturers,” said James Kennedy, Styron’s Global Flooring Industry Manager. “Styron’s Performance Latex solutions help our customers meet those challenges and differentiate their products in the marketplace.”
