Export, Pa. — Karndean Designflooring has announced several changes to its executive management team that is intended to increase the company’s overall strategic support system and aid in its growth.
Effective Oct. 6, 2014, Larry Browder, Karndean Designflooring’s vice president of retail sales, will become CEO for Karndean USA. Browder joined Karndean as VP of retail sales in early 2011. Since then, he has been instrumental in the company’s rapid growth within the retail flooring marketplace. Under Browder’s leadership, Karndean has experienced a strong increase in both its residential sales team and retail partnerships.
Coinciding with Browder’s promotion, Karndean announced that current CEO Ed Perrin would assume the position of Group CEO.
“I am immensely proud of what we have achieved in the last seven years. The growth we have seen in that time has turned Karndean into a major player in the U.S. flooring market,” Perrin said. “I am extremely excited to be able to support Karndean’s growth in a different role and I am very confident that Larry will continue to take Karndean USA to new heights.”
