world's largest vertically integrated FSC certified forest products
manufacturers, has appointed Joe English to the position of Regional Manager
for the west coast of Florida and the Gulf Coast

English. “Cikel is a company that talks the talk and then walks the walk when
it comes to being an environmentally responsible company. In addition, it’s an
organization that’s not afraid to revolutionize how flooring is sold with a new

acclaim for its work relative to environmental responsibilities. Cikel America is a
