| As many of you know, Orcon turned 40 this year. For thirty of those years, we¿ve been the leader in carpet seaming tapes. 2003, however, marks the first year of our entry into the tile installation tool and accessories business. The ever-changing floor covering industry has prompted us here at Orcon to take a close look at popular trends, such as tile. Tile popularity is up for its many style options, as well as its affordability, and many DIY folks are installing it themselves. Orcon would not only like to win their patronage, but also encourage the professional carpet installer into adding tile installation to his/her services; increasing their income potential.
