The STANLEY\u00ae SPC flooring collections are now in production and will roll out across the EMEA region in 2026.<em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>STANLEY\u2019s entrance into the SPC floating flooring category reflects its commitment to delivering innovative, high-quality products for today\u2019s growing residential construction and renovation markets.<em> <\/em>The new collections combine STANLEY\u2019s globally recognized brand with Area Floors\u2019 flooring innovation, engineering and manufacturing expertise, using i4F\u2019s proven drop-lock technologies for a fast, reliable and easy installation experience.<em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The all-work mentality has been part of STANLEY&#8217;s DNA from the start. When the brand was founded in 1843, Founder Frederick Stanley saw the need for a brand that made tools shaped by the work, and workers themselves. He developed tools built to stand up to pressure, solve practical problems and help one person do more on their own. From the No. 99 Utility Knife to the first steel tape measure to innovations like the TradeLift\u2122, STANLEY has stayed focused on what real jobs demand. More than 180 years later, that belief still holds. Professionals build their reputations the same way STANLEY built its own: through good work, hard-won skill and problems solved.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Area Floors, an Istanbul-based company with automated production capabilities and international export experience, brings development and manufacturing expertise to the collaboration. i4F\u2019s industry-leading drop-lock technologies align installation performance with the STANLEY brand\u2019s reputation for durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond product development and technology integration, the collaboration includes coordinated branding,&nbsp;packaging&nbsp;and marketing initiatives. STANLEY and i4F branding will feature prominently on Area Floors\u2019 packaging, installation-focused&nbsp;content&nbsp;and supporting sales materials. This branding approach will help retailers and consumers identify products that combine the trust of the STANLEY brand as well as the proven ease of use of i4F&#8217;s installation technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This latest launch highlights the growing importance of combining globally recognized brands with proven flooring technologies to create differentiated consumer products.&nbsp;<em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Caroline McInerney, EMEA Licensing Manager at STANLEY, said, \u201cFor more than 175 years, STANLEY has stood for trusted quality, durability, and purposeful innovation\u2014values that have made the brand a symbol of reliability for professionals. Expanding into flooring is a natural extension of STANLEY\u2019s long-standing commitment to the residential construction and home improvement markets. In partnership with Area Floors, we have created a flooring collection designed for today\u2019s consumers, combining STANLEY\u2019s commitment to solving practical problems and dependability with i4F drop-lock technologies for an easy installation experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ferhat \u00c7al\u0131nalt\u0131, CEO of Area Floors, adds, \u201cWe are proud to bring STANLEY Flooring to the EMEA market. This partnership reflects Area Floors\u2019 expertise in developing and manufacturing flooring solutions for leading global brands, combining innovative design, advanced production and international market experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dervis Anil, Project Lead \u2013 STANLEY Flooring Program, Area Floors, \u201cFrom concept to commercialization, our focus has been to build a flooring collection worthy of the STANLEY name. Working closely with our partners, we have combined product innovation, manufacturing excellence and reliable installation to create a premium flooring solution for customers across the EMEA region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">John Rietveldt, CEO, i4F, comments, \u201cArea Floors is a strong player in the global flooring market, and its prestigious partnership with STANLEY makes its selection of i4F\u2019s drop-lock technology a meaningful endorsement. Together, we are helping deliver an easy, reliable flooring experience for retailers, installers and consumers.\u201d\u00a0<br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"block file-list\">\n    <p><a href=\"\" class=\"more\" target=\"blank\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n\n\n        <section class=\"block news feed latest\" id=\"block_6a9e6f87eddc6\">\n          <div class=\"container\">\n            <h6 class=\"title text-center\">\u6700\u65b0\u52a8\u6001<\/h6>\n            <div class=\"row pb-5\">\n              <div class=\"col-md-4\">\n                <p class=\"date\">2026\u5e74 9\u6708 10\u65e5<\/p>\n                <p>AMY GRUPO signs new i4F Optibevel license agreement<\/p>\n                <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/zh-hans\/article\/amy-grupo-signs-new-i4f-optibevel-license-agreement\/\" class=\"more\">\u9605\u8bfb\u6587\u7ae0<\/a><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"col-md-4\">\n                <p class=\"date\">2026\u5e74 9\u6708 2\u65e5<\/p>\n                <p>STANLEY\u00ae the pro brand for solo work, enters flooring market through strategic partnership with Area Floors, powered by i4F Drop-Lock technologies<\/p>\n                <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/zh-hans\/article\/stanley-enters-flooring-market-through-strategic-partnership-with-area-floors-powered-by-i4f-drop-lock-technologies\/\" class=\"more\">\u9605\u8bfb\u6587\u7ae0<\/a><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"col-md-4\">\n                <p class=\"date\">2026\u5e74 7\u6708 21\u65e5<\/p>\n                <p>NOX becomes first US-based i4F CeraGrout\u00ae Flex manufacturer for loose-lay and glue-down LVT<\/p>\n                <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/zh-hans\/article\/nox-becomes-first-us-based-i4f-ceragrout-flex-manufacturer-for-loose-lay-and-glue-down-lvt\/\" class=\"more\">\u9605\u8bfb\u6587\u7ae0<\/a><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"template":"","categories":[],"class_list":["post-10388","article","type-article","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.8.1 -
