Armstrong Inspiring Great SpacesTM

Armstrong is a leader in the design and manufacture of

floors and ceilings. We provide a portfolio of residential and

commercial products and services developed to inspire

our customers to deliver the exceptional interiors they

envision for themselves and their clients. At home, at work,

in hospitals, classrooms, stores, or restaurants, Armstrong

offers innovative interior solutions that help to enhance

comfort, save time, improve building efficiency and overall

performance, and create beautiful spaces, from Dubai to

Shanghai, New York to Sao Paolo.

What began more than 150 years ago has grown to become Armstrong

World Industries, a global, multi-billion corporation with thousands of

employees around the world.

Armstrong has flourished, in times of prosperity,

change and challenge, because we’ve always been

the company that could be trusted to deliver quality

products when we said we would. At a time when

most companies operated under the premise,

“let the buyer beware,” we grew stronger on the

principle, “let the buyer have faith.”

PoweredbyInnovationOur innovation led to the development of acoustic ceiling products that can

improve learning in schools and hasten healing in hospitals. It’s our innovation

that brought about American Scrape, our collection of hardwood flooring

that captures the warmth and character homeowners want from interior

finishes today.

Our research and development teams are constantly looking for ways

to improve our product and service portfolio. With new and sustainable

ceiling and flooring solutions, we’re able to help expand design possibilities,

empowering our customers to create beautiful, high-performance homes,

offices, healthcare facilities, schools, airports and retail spaces.

INNOVATION IN SUSTAINABILITYStriations BioBased Tile® (BBT) is an award-winning

floor that delivers a stylish, linear aesthetic. Made

of 85% limestone and 10% pre-consumer recycled

content, BBT contains BioStride®, a revolutionary

patent-pending polymer made with rapidly renewable,

American-grown plant ingredients.

INNOVATION IN EFFICIENCYCoolZone absorbs heat and energy during the day

and releases it at night to keep interior spaces at a

steady, comfortable temperature around the clock,

saving energy for building owners. Available in the

UK only.

INNOVATION IN LIVINGArchitectural Remnants laminate provides the look

of reclaimed wood flooring, with a more practical

application. It’s made with HYDRACORE™ PLUS

which gives it a more substantial feel and the solid

sound of real hardwood. Its finish, VISIONGUARD®,

protects the floor’s surface from stains, fading and

everyday wear, making cleaning – and living – easier.

Driven to DeliverAt Armstrong, our inspiration starts with our customers. What do they need?

What do they want? How can we help? What improvements can we make

to our business, our products and our services to make life simpler, easier,

smoother for them?

We collaborate with architects, designers, homeowners and contractors

to deliver solutions that bring their ideas to life, in ways that benefit people

and the planet. We draw inspiration, and fulfillment, from the knowledge

the products we develop contribute to the healthier, smarter, more inspiring

spaces our customers design every day.

We have a long-standing reputation for sustainable innovation. We were the first to establish

a ceiling recycling program that’s diverted thousands of tons of construction waste from

landfills. We’ve since expanded that program to Europe and started a vinyl flooring recycling

program in the U.S. We develop products that have lower environmental footprints, and in

some cases, reduce the environmental footprints of the buildings where they are installed.

We have a rigorous product stewardship and quality program with internal tests and

standards – from product design and manufacture through to performance attributes and

ease-of-installation – that often exceed legal requirements.

Our steady pursuit of an injury-free workplace has earned us a world class safety record

within the manufacturing sector. And, we develop our products with the goal of helping to

create safer buildings with fire, seismic and slip-resistant performance.

Our ethics program was in place long before it was required by law. We take responsibility

for our actions and demonstrate character in how we behave, make decisions and

communicate which includes abiding by the law and company policies everywhere

we operate.

We have participated in United Way fundraising campaigns since 1924 with millions of

dollars and volunteer hours; we’re often the largest donor in communities where we operate.

The Armstrong Foundation, established in 1985, has contributed more than $30 million to

global disaster relief, educational institutions and scholarship programs, and worthy charities.

ETHICS

COMMUNITY

To respect the dignity and inherent rights of the individual in all dealings with people.

To maintain high moral and ethical standards and to reflect honesty, integrity,

reliability and forthrightness in all relationships.

To reflect the tenets of good taste and common courtesy in all attitudes, words

and deeds.

To serve fairly and in proper balance the interests of all groups associated with the

business – customers, stockholders, employees, suppliers, community neighbors,

government and the general public.

OUR OPERATING PRINCIPLES

GuidedbyResponsibilityWe believe one of the reasons we have stood the test of time is our devotion

to our operating principles and our commitment to acting responsibly and with

integrity everywhere we work. That commitment includes embracing some

fundamental ethics about how we treat our people, our partners and our planet.

In the majority of schools, students only hear 3 out of

4 words. When schools choose Armstrong acoustical

ceilings, kids can hear every word – when they’re not busy

passing notes – which helps them learn better. And that’s

not all – in hospitals patients heal faster with less noise,

and in the workplace, employees can be more productive.
