LIVONIA, Mich., Aug. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Artivo Surfaces (“Artivo”), the parent company of Virginia Tile and GalleherDuffy, backed by Transom Capital (“Transom”), today announced it has successfully completed its previously announced acquisition of the Walker Zanger and Anthology brands from Mosaic Companies.

“With today’s closing, we officially welcome Walker Zanger and Anthology to the Artivo platform,” said Sunil Palakodati, CEO of Artivo Surfaces. “This milestone not only marks a significant expansion of Artivo’s portfolio of premier brands, but also builds on the momentum we established with the 2024 combination of Galleher, Virginia Tile, and the Tom Duffy Company. As we integrate these iconic brands and honor their design legacies and customer-first values, Artivo is firmly positioned as a national leader in flooring and surfaces.”

Walker Zanger is known for its luxury materials and timeless design, while Anthology is recognized for its trend-forward collections.
