National Floorcoverings Group (NFCG), a well-established name in the UK’s flooring industry, has been acquired by Nimbus. Founded over 60 years ago, NFCG has built a strong reputation for its high-quality products, including the renowned Supacord and Workspace lines, both of which hold the highest BREEAM rating of A+, demonstrating their superior environmental performance.

Operating from two strategically located sites in Yorkshire, NFCG’s operations are supported by four key brands: Heckmondwike, Paragon, Playrite, and Mat.Works. Each brand is synonymous with exceptional quality and service. Heckmondwike is a leading UK manufacturer of commercial fibre bonded carpets, with Supacord being its flagship product for over five decades. Paragon specializes in design-led commercial carpet tiles and has recently expanded its capabilities through new machinery investments. Playrite offers specialist sports surfaces for various applications, including multi-use game areas and artificial grass, with a growing international presence, particularly in Australia. Mat.Works focuses on aluminium and modular entrance matting solutions, providing durable and effective products for high-traffic areas.

NFCG has maintained a solid market presence in sectors such as education and commercial office spaces, thanks to its long-standing relationships with key specifiers and contractors. Its commitment to innovation is reflected in the use of advanced materials, such as nylon yarn, which enhances both performance and fire safety standards.

Looking ahead, NFCG is focused on capitalizing on its manufacturing capabilities and exploring new market segments, including potential expansions into overseas markets where the demand for British-manufactured products remains strong. Through ongoing investments in operational improvements and product development, the group is well-positioned to continue its growth trajectory and uphold its tradition of delivering high-quality flooring solutions.
