POLYFLOR REBRANDS TO POLYSALES AND EXPANDS ITS VINYL FLOORING OFFERINGS
Polyflor South Africa, a well-respected supplier of high quality, durable vinyl flooring used in healthcare, commercial and education environments, has entered a new chapter in its growth and development. The company is expanding its product portfolio to fuel growth across commercial, retail and hospitality sectors, as well as embarking on a name change to Polysales.
Since its inception, this three-generational company has proudly represented global commercial flooring manufacturer, Polyflor. Trading under its name, the company has grown to over 50 employees over the last 30 years with solid technical and sales expertise, supplying a wide variety of vinyl sheeting and wall protection solutions across South Africa and into Africa.
Polysales CEO Tandy Coleman explains the reason behind the company’ s name change and the exciting new range of products being launched.
“ We’ ve spent time listening to our customers, rethinking our strategies, and planning for the future. Change is inevitable, but it’ s also necessary to grow, innovate, and achieve greater things. Hence, we have broadened our portfolio to represent a larger basket of suppliers. In so doing, we wanted to honour all suppliers equally and therefore felt it necessary to move to a more neutral brand name,” says Coleman.
“ For us, it’ s the start of a really exciting journey, especially with the launch of our new NovoCore range of high-quality, wellpriced LVTs that are suitable for commercial, retail, residential, and hospitality applications.”
Coleman describes how partnering with NovoCore is a perfect fit as the internationally-recognised brand meets the highest standards of manufacturing and environmental responsibility, aligning seamlessly with Polysales’ honour, ethics and dedication to customer service.
“ There are three product lines aimed at different markets and the NaturTrend range is the first of its kind in South Africa. It’ s an innovative vinyl tile with an ultra matte finish that realistically resembles oiled timber,” she notes.
Polysales continues to represent Polyflor, along with Gradus, Ecore and ACO. www. polysales. com
