Karndean Designflooring has a new leader for its commercial business. Patrick Jacobs joins the LVT supplier as Vice President, Commercial Sales, with a focus on strengthening Karndean’s longstanding commitment to being a trusted partner – something he believes starts with listening.
“Relationships are built on trust,” Jacobs says. “That’s why I’m so eager to continue getting to know our customers. It’s the most effective way to ensure we’re delivering the best solution.”
As an industry veteran, Jacobs has long admired Karndean in the ever changing resilient-flooring landscape.
“Karndean LVT is exceptional in terms of style, durability and performance. It checks every box,” says Jacobs, who most recently served as a regional vice president with Tarkett. “When you’re out in the field, you consistently hear that the beauty of the wood and stone designs is unmatched – all while meeting the practical needs of commercial installation and performance.”
Jacobs also says Karndean’s well-established history – founded in 1973, and a family business to this day – sets it apart in the marketplace.
“Karndean is a company that’s stood the test of time,” says Jacobs, who began his career in the industry with Mannington. “It’s a testament to both the innovative spirit and the excellent product quality. Those five-plus decades of experience make a big difference. Customers know they can choose Karndean products with confidence.”
Bill Anderson, Karndean CEO, says that Jacobs is a natural fit to lead the commercial sales organization. “Patrick shares our values, bringing key strengths as both a sales professional and an organizational leader to Karndean – listening, relationship-building and problem-solving among them,” Anderson says. “His experience will benefit our customers, first and foremost, as well as our company. We’re happy to have him leading our commercial business forward.”
