ALI is a small, little company trying to make a big difference in the flooring industry,” says CALI president, Doug Jackson. That could be the understatement of the year. The San Diego-based supplier will bring its highly-curated indoor and outdoor surfaces portfolio to The International Surface Event (TISE) February 1-3, 2022. Industry buyers and sourcing professionals can register for a free exhibits pass to visit CALI in-person in Las Vegas or a free virtual pass to the hybrid TISE Live Virtual Event | Vegas Edition 2022 by registering here. The event marks the first SURFACES appearance at The International Surface Event (TISE) in CALI history, but the company has been intensifying on the industry’s radar for well over a decade. Founded by two surfer buddies in 2004, CALI broke ground as a manufacturer of high-performing building products made of bamboo – namely fencing, flooring, plywood, and decking. It wasn’t long before the company grew to become the nation’s top importer of the woody grass, and they branched into other materials. Today, CALI offers a diverse range of hard surface designs including hardwood, luxury vinyl, eucalyptus, engineered, cork, and of course, bamboo. You’ll find CALI branded flooring displays and products stocked in independent specialty retailers, as well as big box stores like Lowe’s and Home Depot. Wherever CALI is sold, shoppers will find the same products, styles, and quality. The company’s omni-channel approach allows the consumer to purchase wherever she’s most comfortable, while protecting the brand and retailer margins through controlled distribution. Jackson says avoiding the tendency practiced by other flooring companies to adopt private labeling is “a line in the sand for us.”
