Desso, the global carpet, carpet tiles and sports pitches company is exhibiting at the Neocon world trade fair in Chicago (9-11 June 2014) - one of the largest commercial interiors related events in the United States.

Following a recent agreement with The Dixie Group, a leading US carpet company, Desso has stepped up its ability to reach the US market with its wide range of environmentally responsible and popular carpet ranges. Through  this agreement, Desso is working with Masland Contract, a division of The Dixie Group, strengthening its ability to sell top end Cradle to Cradle® products in the US.

On average, people spend about 90 percent of our time indoors, therefore it is imperative to develop products which contribute to people's health and wellbeing. Desso brings this vision into reality via its three pillared innovation strategy focusing on: Creativity, Functionality and Cradle to Cradle® Desso will be exhibiting three unique ranges that demonstrate its commitment to excellence in these areas.
