Florence, Ala.—TMT America president Thomas Trissl announced the launch of TRISSL Brand Collective (TBC), a U.S.-based platform offering flooring and interior surface solutions to the North American market.
The platform brings together a portfolio of design-focused, high-performance products for architects, designers, builders, contractors, installers and facility managers. TBC aims to support commercial interior projects through product selection, technical expertise and industry support.
Trissl brings more than 40 years of flooring industry experience, including 30 years in the United States. His background spans installation, product development, design and manufacturing. He previously founded Centiva, a luxury vinyl tile company that Tarkett acquired in 2010. He also founded HPS Schönox, a subflooring materials manufacturer that Sika acquired in 2025.
Through TBC, Trissl plans to use that experience to identify flooring and interior surface products that combine design, performance and practical value.
“After more than three decades working in the U.S. flooring market, I’ve seen firsthand what building professionals need and where existing solutions can be improved,” Trissl said. “TRISSL Brand Collective is about bringing together products, expertise and support that make projects more intentional and successful.”
Portfolio focuses on performance and design
TRISSL Brand Collective focuses on sourcing and developing products that address the evolving needs of building professionals.
The platform emphasizes product selection, simplified installation, sustainability and long-term performance.
Its growing portfolio includes:
- EMCO Entrance Flooring Systems: Engineered to capture dirt and moisture at building entrances, helping protect interior spaces and maintain cleaner, safer environments.
- KüberitUSA: Offers precision-engineered flooring and architectural transition solutions designed to improve functionality and interior finishes.

The company plans to expand its offerings while maintaining a focus on quality, performance and design.
