INFORMATION THAT IMPACTS THE AMERICAN TILE INDUSTRY!
… A DECISION that impacts American Tile Manufacturers and the Art Tile Makers in America! Recently shared by Eric Astrachan of TCNA . . .
"As you may have heard, the United States International Trade Commission (USITC) ruled on April 30th that the ceramic tile industry “is materially injured by reason of imports of ceramic tile from China that the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) has determined are subsidized and sold in the United States at less than fair value.” ….Thanks to the efforts of the eight companies that brought this action, and their many supporters, members small and large will benefit. We hope the imposition of the duties we described will help our tile-manufacturing members flourish. We wish you and all our members great success and health . . . .

Click on the image below for full details.
In halting an event of this magnitude in mid-stride, the owners and board members of the International Tile Exposition as well as the managers of the show, Taffy Event Strategies, have met the global challenge head-on. We'll all miss experiencing the latest tiles and stone from around the world, meeting up with industry friends, supporters and colleagues, the wide array of tile education opportunities as well as honoring amazing tile and stone installations in the Awards Programs. We look forward to Coverings 2021 in Orlando, FL.
MISSION IN PLACE! Tile Heritage Foundation Staff and Volunteers are "safe & sound" at the moment. THF offices and library are on the property of Sheila Menzies & Joe Taylor - so they always 'work from home'... We've been able to plan for some staff tasks and archiving projects to be handled remotely off-site - keeping many aspects of what we do running smoothly with everyone's health and safety as the highest priority
