A Visionary Journey
Alan Greenberg and Howard Brodsky founded CCA Global Partners® in 1984 with a trailblazing vision in mind—to be a significant force in the floor-covering industry while still maintaining autonomy for independent flooring retailers.
Greenberg and Brodsky launched Carpet One Floor & Home as this pioneering organization’s first (and still largest) division.

businesses benefit from cca
“Before pursuing my passion for social media marketing, I worked alongside my parents at their small business of 71 years. The CCA culture represents a merge of the world I grew up in and the professional world I hoped to enter by allowing me to support our retail members through creativity and understanding.”

Because we are organized as a cooperative and are owned by, and operated for, the benefit of the people at the heart of the organization rather than outside investors, we can focus on helping our members succeed. CCA’s businesses have proven the success of the cooperative model.
“CCA is a company with a clear vision and understanding of its goals. And it is constantly reinforced by the leadership here. At the end of the day, it’s all about making the independent business owners or the franchisees who we work with successful.”
