Pros

There are some great people there for now.

Cons

New North American leader has no connection to the business and is constantly talking about himself. He is going to drive more people away.

Thank you for your comment. Though this comment is outdated, we wanted to reply with update: Our team in North America has pivoted several times in the past few years in attempt to maintain business while bringing in leaders who would focus on results. A lot has changed since your last post, including our CEO. In 2019, Tarkett promoted a seasoned flooring industry veteran to the level of CEO (Jeff Fenwick). Jeff has been with us and understands the industry. We believe he has brought both a stabilizing presence and trusted experience to our Leadership. To your point, we do now presently have a CEO with a deeper connection to the flooring business and are excited to see how he has managed as a leader under the currently unprecedented time (Covid19) we are currently in.

Pros

Tarkett/Johnsonite has introduced some new products and maintains their margins. Many distributors like them. The company should benefit from the rebound in commercial building.

Cons

The management is very insular. The President ventures into the plant once per year. Outside ideas are not welcome. Nepotism abounds. Manufacturing is a step child to “customers.” Good people are marginalized. Systems, procedures and controls are weak. Problems are covered over with band aids.
