Acquisition strengthens distribution, providing expanded resources to support long-term growth

AUSTIN, Texas, April 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Wilsonart Engineered Surfaces (“Wilsonart”) announced Thursday the acquisition of Virginia Tile’s woodworking products distribution business. The acquired operations are headquartered in Kansas City, Kansas, with branches in Tulsa and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Wichita, Kansas; and Springfield, Missouri. These locations distribute decorative surfaces, cabinet accessories and decorative and functional hardware. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

While the woodworking division locations have been a valuable part of Virginia Tile’s portfolio, the company determined that its flooring and woodworking operations had limited synergy. After more than 50 years as a trusted partner, Virginia Tile saw Wilsonart as the ideal company to lead the division into its next phase of growth, given its commitment to best-in-class distribution in every market.

“This acquisition complements Wilsonart’s company culture and greatly enhances the services we offer in these territories,” said Tymon Moore, vice president of sales for Wilsonart. “We look forward to increasing Wilsonart’s company-owned distribution network and being able to bring our ever-expanding portfolio of engineered surfaces to an even wider audience.”

Founded in 1928 by the Stephenson Family, Virginia Tile has grown into a leading provider of porcelain, ceramic, stone, glass, metal and mosaic design solutions for the wholesale building supply industry. Leadership continuity will be key to ensuring a seamless transition as the woodworking division integrates into Wilsonart.

As part of this transition, Randy Burton will join Wilsonart as general manager of the acquired portfolio, ensuring a smooth experience for employees and customers. “I am excited to embark on this next chapter as part of Wilsonart and am confident its team and customers will thrive with the expanded resources and expertise,” said Burton.

Debevoise & Plimpton LLP provided legal counsel to Wilsonart in connection with the transaction.
