Bjelin expanded its United States team from 10 to 25 members this past year as the company experienced increased demand, Bjelin says.

The expanded team includes industry veterans Jean Sagmeister and Duke Mabry, who bring 20 and 34 years of flooring industry experience, respectively.

“The flooring market in the US has experienced substantial growth, driven by rising demand for renovation and construction projects in both residential and commercial sectors,” U.S. General Manager Zach Adams said in a statement. “We are excited about the future and warmly welcome our new team members to Bjelin.”
