The History of Armstrong Flooring

Thomas Armstrong started his company in 1860 as a two man cork cutting shop in Pittsburgh. He was the son of Scottish-Irish Immigrants. Armstrong floors progressed through the Civil War, financial panics, fires and marketplace challenges. Armstrong succeeded on the values of hard work and faith. He employed and kept dedicated and talented employees. Armstrong was known for acting in fairness and balancing the interests of more than just the stockholders, but the communities, employees, customers and suppliers. Armstrong’s modo, ‘Let the Buyer Have Faith’, was a refreshing contrast to the norm of buyer beware. By the 1890’s Armstrong was the worlds largest cork company.

Armstrong did not see the day his company first made linoleum flooring as he died the year before this dream came to fruition. In 1909 the first linoleum came off the presses of the Lancaster, Pennsylvania factory and the robust flooring portfolio started. In April 2016, Armstrong Flooring separated from Armstrong World Industries to focus solely on flooring once again. Today, Armstrong is one of the world’s largest producers of resilient flooring products.
