10 years of success as America’s largest single-family and multi-family flooring contractor network.
FEI Group is a major presence in the single and multifamily construction industry, with three leading businesses: Home Solutions by FloorExpo, MultiFamily Solutions by FloorExpo and KBx, America’s Cabinet Experts.
Today, members of FEI Group’s Home Solutions® division are on an aggregate basis, the top providers of flooring for single-family home builders in the nation’s top 50 markets. Similarly, members of FEI Group’s MultiFamily Solutions® division serve a rapidly growing number of real estate investment trusts (REITs), apartment owners and property managers in more than 70 key multifamily markets nationwide. But more than a mere presence, FEI Group is a relentless force with the momentum and plan of action to deliver even greater successes in the future.
Building a foundation to support flooring growth
Independence is the cornerstone of America’s power. FEI Group, too, is powered by independence — leading flooring contractors who know how to leverage their FEI Group association while retaining their operational autonomy and individual identities.
FEI Group is about maximizing profitability for members through timely strategic action that includes product power buys and national agreements with property management companies. Members benefit from networking opportunities with their peers, sharing best practices and experiences that translate to higher profits.
Cooperative members have access to FEI Group’s world-class marketing services, even getting individual help with local strategies whenever necessary. Advanced training and technology tools, targeted merchandising initiatives, and national business programs enable members to gain the acumen to further separate themselves.
Making strategic strides
While the market may have temporarily softened, the strategic mindset at FEI Group has not. In fact, the new name itself, FEI Group, is indicative of the company’s promised expansion (until recently, FEI Group was known to the industry as FloorExpo). To prove it, the company launched KBx, a new cabinet division, last fall. KBx is already the largest association of cabinet dealer-distributors in the country; members service the local, regional and national builder markets, as well as the multifamily, senior housing, and student and military industries. By incorporating a cabinet offering into its business mix, FEI Group gains a more comprehensive product offering, something more and more customers are asking for today.
Additionally, the inking of several new national contracts with apartment management companies have allowed the MultiFamily Solutions division to post double-digit growth.
Prepared for even greater success
FEI Group marked its 10th anniversary last year. However, much more important than celebrating a decade in existence, FEI Group celebrated a decade of explosive and innovative growth. With a firm and distinguished member presence in every major market, FEI Group is eminently prepared to widen its competitive lead by doing the following:
- Positioning members as the “Green Contractors of Choice” in their geographic markets
- Assisting members in becoming more operationally efficient
- Continuing to provide exceptional marketing programs aimed at keeping members top of mind when the builder market recovers
FEI Group will continue to demonstrate that it truly values and appreciates its members and will do everything possible to ensure their extraordinary success.
