Mullican Flooring has signed an agreement with Välinge to apply the company’s 2G locking system in production of Mullican’s engineered products.

The parking lot was vacant and the doors locked Thursday at the Flooring Gallery store on Sixth Street in Marshalltown.

Along with ongoing and aggressive media relations and tactics designed to increase floor covering awareness, each year the World Floor Covering Association (WFCA) sets out on media tours to communicate and showcase the latest trends, technologies and advancements in flooring.
