“With today’s closing, we officially welcome Walker Zanger and Anthology to the Artivo platform,” said Sunil Palakodati, CEO of Artivo Surfaces. “This milestone not only marks a significant expansion of Artivo’s portfolio of premier brands, but also builds on the momentum we established with the 2024 combination of Galleher, Virginia Tile, and the Tom Duffy Company.
