Building a more resilient carpet supply chain

How to reduce supply chain risk, protect customer relationships and prepare your business for change.

Your customers rely on you to supply the right carpets at the right time. When products become unavailable or deliveries are delayed, your reputation and customer relationships can be put under pressure.

In a changing flooring market, even established supply arrangements deserve a closer look. For carpet wholesalers, the challenge is not simply finding another supplier. It is building a supply chain that offers the right balance of availability, flexibility and reliability.

So, how can you prepare your business for changing market conditions?

How to choose the right technical textile for your application?

Whether you're developing a protective cover, a military application, industrial equipment or a transportation solution, performance is rarely determined by design alone.

The materials you choose play a critical role in how a product performs throughout its lifecycle.

A textile that is too heavy may reduce efficiency. One that lacks durability may require frequent replacement. One that isn't suited to the environment may fail long before expected.

That's why selecting the right technical textile is not simply a material choice. It's a product performance decision.

Carpet Installation Guide

Correct installation is essential for achieving the appearance, performance and lifespan expected from a contract carpet.

To support installers and project teams, Robusta has created a practical installation video that demonstrates the key stages of a professional carpet installation, from subfloor preparation and positioning to seaming, bonding and finishing.

The video highlights the most critical installation techniques and best practices to help achieve a high-quality result.

Jacquard. Woven to make a statement.

Ten designs. Ten distinct characters. One proven collection.

A carpet can create a quiet foundation for an interior. But sometimes, the floor is allowed to do a little more.

That’s where Unique Jacquard comes in.

With ten different designs, the collection offers plenty of choice. From subtle patterns to more expressive designs, each has a character of its own.

Unique Jacquard has been part of our carpet collection for quite some time. And for good reason.

How to choose a carpet manufacturer you can build your business on

As a wholesaler, your reputation is only as strong as the suppliers behind you.

When a product arrives late, doesn't meet expectations or fails to sell, your customer won't call the manufacturer. They'll call you.

That's why choosing a carpet manufacturer isn't simply about finding the lowest price. It's about finding a partner who helps you deliver on the promises you make to your customers.

The right manufacturing partner helps you stay competitive, respond to market demand and serve your customers with confidence.

So how do you identify a carpet manufacturer that can support your business, not just today, but for years to come?

Reliable Beach Access with Articulated Concrete Block Mats

A flexible solution for demanding coastal conditions.

Beach access tracks are exposed to constantly changing conditions. Unstable ground, water and vehicle traffic can quickly challenge conventional surfaces.

At Manning Point, New South Wales, Articulated Concrete Loop Block Mats were used to create a durable and reliable access track through the dunes and onto the beach.

Safe demoltion next to an active railway

A mobile protection curtain for a challenging project in Hitzkirch, Switzerland.

Demolishing a 36.5-metre-high grain silo is a complex operation under normal circumstances. At the former Landi Oberseetal site in Hitzkirch, Switzerland, the challenge was even greater: the silo stood directly beside an active railway line.

Because trains continued to run during the day, demolition was restricted to nine night-time work windows of only three hours each. A traditional protective scaffold was not an option, as it would have exceeded the required clearance from the railway and limited the demolition process.

Jumbo Mast as a demolition curtain in Düsseldorf

Urban demolition is about control. You need to keep the work zone separated, protect the street side, and stay flexible as the demolition front moves. On a project in Düsseldorf (Germany), contractor Laarakkers installed a vertical containment curtain along the building line using Robusta’s Jumbo Mast.

The key choice: Jumbo Mast (4.5kg/m2) instead of Heavy Trackway (15kg/m2), to reduce handling effort and bring total deployment costs down.

Reference project: Pulling NETS in compost production at Walkro

Pulling nets that continue to perform, cycle after cycle

At Walkro in Blitterswijck, producing mushroom compost is all about control. Day after day, under the same harsh conditions. Moisture, organic material, intensive transport — it places high demands on every component involved. Including the pulling nets.

Reference project: Demolition Curtains at Brussels South

Demolition in the heart of Brussels requires tight coordination and high-quality shielding. This project involved the demolition of an old office building, located directly adjacent to the Brussels South (Gare du Midi) railway station. Due to heavy traffic, high pedestrian volumes, and railway infrastructure right next to the site, a demolition curtain was essential to ensure a safe and controlled operation.
