CARLSTADT, NJ – Paramount Global Surfaces (“PGS”) announced today the launch of a new west coast warehouse in Goodyear, Arizona outside of Phoenix.

PGS is a leading developer, importer and distributor of premium, proprietary porcelain tile and other hard surface floor coverings used primarily in remodel and replacement solutions by both residential and commercial end users.

PGS was acquired by Platinum Equity in 2021 and goes to market via the Happy Floors residential brand and the Stone Source & Ceramic Technics-commercial brand.

The new 140,000 square-foot Goodyear facility will contain all of the company’s product lines, including porcelain tile, ceramic tile, natural stone, and luxury vinyl tile, and will provide over 30 new jobs to residents in the Phoenix area.

Additionally, as part of the recent acquisition and integration of Stone Source into the PGS portfolio, Happy Floors inventory lines are also being stocked in the Stone Source Carlstadt, NJ warehouse to improve service to northeast region customers for both Happy Floors and Stone Source.

“These investments reflect our confidence in the continued growth trajectory of the company,” said PGS CEO Mike Draves. “We are excited to establish a presence in Goodyear, Arizona to better support our west coast customers while also expanding our presence in Carlstadt, New Jersey.”

The new Arizona facility will be located at 16535 W Elwood Street, Goodyear, AZ 85338. This will increase PGS warehouse capacity to support continued growth while specifically improving service to west region partners via additional inventory availability and reduced delivery lead times.

“Paramount Global Surfaces’ expansion into Goodyear is indicative of the region’s infrastructure, connectivity and ability to meet the needs of high-growth business,” said Chris Camacho, president and CEO at Greater Phoenix Economic Council. “This move strategically positions Paramount Global Surfaces moving forward and we’re excited to partner with them in their continued success.”

A ceremony to celebrate the Goodyear, Arizona warehouse opening is planned for early October.

LAKEHURST, N.J. — Beacon of LIFE PACE Center Ocean County will celebrate its grand opening on Thursday, September 29 from 2 pm to 5 pm. The Center offers eligible seniors support services to allow them to comfortably age at home. It is located at 800 Route 70, Lakehurst, NJ 08733.

Lakehurst Mayor Harry Robbins and other special guests will attend the ribbon cutting followed by refreshments, giveaways, and tours of the facility. The event is open to seniors, caregivers, community organizations, neighbors, and job seekers.

“Beacon of LIFE PACE Center Ocean County is an outstanding alternative to nursing home care,” said Greg Pulley, Center Director. “We are a reliable, professional, senior-friendly drop-in center dedicated to helping our participants be independent in their homes for as long as possible. We give them and their caregivers critical support.” 

Eligible individuals must live in Ocean County, be 55-years of age or older, eligible for nursing home care, and able to live safely in the community alone or with caregivers.

Participants can choose from a wide range of preventive, primary, acute, and long-term care. “We offer a team of healthcare professionals who get to know you and your goals,” said Bobbi Runyon, Executive Director for Beacon of LIFE PACE’s Monmouth County and Ocean County locations. “There is a day center with activities and meals, and also social services, physical, occupational, and speech therapies, hairdressers, and much more.”

An enrollment specialist from Beacon of LIFE PACE will assess the needs of participants in their homes. Services may include housekeeping, meals, and assistance with showers or bathing. Caregivers may also turn to Beacon of LIFE for respite, as needed.

An Interdisciplinary Team considers the participant’s and caregiver’s needs, recommends services, and creates an ongoing relationship with the participant. Medicaid completely covers the cost of the program; Medicare covers a portion, including Medicare Part D drug coverage. Private pay is also an option to join PACE. Beacon of LIFE provides all transportation to the PACE Center for activities or medical appointments.  

“We’re excited that the Grand Opening September 29 coincides with National PACE month,” said Mary Austin, CEO of BoldAge, which operates Beacon of LIFE PACE in New Jersey as well as PACE programs in three other states. “Beacon of LIFE is helping older adults live happily and healthfully in their own homes for as long as possible.”

PACE programs serve approximately 60,000 participants across the U.S. More than 96 percent of family caregivers of older adults report they are satisfied with the support they receive through PACE, and 97.5 percent would recommend PACE to someone in a similar situation.
