TORONTO and LIVEMORE, CA, May 3, 2018 /CNW/ - Lynx Equity Limited is pleased to announce the acquisition of Livermore, California's Flooring Solutions Inc., the largest commercial, non-union flooring contractor in the San Francisco Bay Area. For over twenty-five years, Flooring Solutions has been providing flooring such as carpeting, wood flooring, non-slip flooring and specialty surfaces for a diverse group of customers. Working exclusively on commercial projects for customers ranging from multinational corporations to government entities, The Company has established its reputation as a trusted commercial contractor and has built strong relationships with suppliers, which adds to its competitive advantage. Flooring Solutions is also the exclusive regional distributor of Eco-Grip, a unique heat and chemical resistant flooring material, designed to contribute to the safety of the work environment in restaurants and commercial kitchens.

Rick Elfman, Flooring Solutions' co-founder and President, will remain with Flooring Solutions for at least two years, ensuring a smooth transition to new management.

"All of us at Flooring Solutions are thrilled to be part of the Lynx family. We did a lot of vetting by speaking with the other two flooring contractors that Lynx is involved with and nothing but the highest marks came up," commented Rick Elfman. "Our main concerns were the transition for my wife Holly and me towards retirement and the future security of our people, and Lynx was able to satisfy both concerns. Everyone we have dealt with at Lynx has been professional and our companies have a great future together."

Lynx's portfolio currently includes Portland, OR's Floor Solutions, acquired by Lynx in 2014, as well as G&W Commercial Interiors, acquired in 2017. Lynx continues to pursue acquisition opportunities in North America and Europe.
