Flooring It

Faus Group lays foundation for success

Chances are you’ve walked all over the products made by Faus Group Inc. If you have, the company thanks you for it.

Since its 1953 beginnings in Gandia, Spain, Faus Group has built a reputation for innovation in high-end laminate flooring, developing proprietary technology and processes to ensure that its products authentically mimic natural materials, while being easy to install in a variety of patterns.

As Fortune 500 customers like Home Depot have created increased demand in the United States for the realistic wood-, stone- and tile-look floors, the Spanish company needed a U.S. site to help support this growing customer base. With Quick Start’s guidance through the new venture, nothing was lost in translation.

“We are very impressed that we began manufacturing only six months after we started the project — with the same accuracy, the same precision and the same final results that we have in our plant in Spain,” says Juan Flores, Faus Group president. “That is quite an example of what can be achieved with good planning and a good team and a program like Quick Start.”

At recent grand opening ceremonies, company CEO Juan Negre called the plant, “the most important project in the nine-year history of the Faus Group.” Among those on hand to cut the ribbon was Gov. Sonny Perdue.

“We appreciate that an international company like Faus Group could have chosen to locate in many places,” said Perdue. “I can commit to you that the workforce here will not disappoint you.” He also thanked the many organizations that helped make the opening possible, including, “the great Quick Start program, of which we are very proud,” Perdue said. “I don’t believe there’s another state that works harder and more efficiently to bring everyone together than Team Georgia.”
