MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA – MARCH 7, 2025 – National Flooring Equipment, America’s leader in industrial-quality floor removal and surface preparation equipment has added an internationally known manufacturer to their portfolio: Syntec Diamond Tools. Both brands have earned the trust and respect of their customers, and the acquisition will allow for accelerated growth and market expansion.
“Everyone at National is very excited to welcome Syntec aboard as a stand-alone brand in our family of companies. This acquisition marks a major step forward in our commitment to providing the best surface preparation solutions in the industry.” – Derek Olson, CEO
Since its founding in 1968, National Flooring Equipment has grown from a Minnesota-based family operation to 50 patents and a loyal customer base across the globe that they continue to cultivate through product innovation and expansion. Through distribution in Europe under the Lord & James brand, which has stock in the U.K. and the Netherlands, the company’s goal is to bring Syntec tooling to European markets.
Established in 1994, Syntec Diamond Tools is Australia’s most significant floor industry tooling manufacturer. Syntec manufactures saw blades, core drills, diamond tooling and other surface prep accessories, all of which are extremely durable. Syntec is known for its consistent quality through rigorous R&D and product testing. National Flooring Equipment is committed to retaining Syntec’s brand integrity while providing additional resources for growth.
“This partnership brings together the strength of National’s global partnerships and the exceptional quality of Syntec’s diamond tooling solutions. Together, we look forward to delivering the next generation of cutting-edge products and services, backed by unparalleled expertise and support.” – Jake Sinna, President
Each brand will retain their operations and teams in their respective markets, while National Flooring Equipment invests in the resources Syntec needs to propel the brand forward globally.
National plans to bolster manufacturing facilities and streamline processes to help expedite growth and production capacity as the product reach and demand increase. With the partnership in place, National Flooring and Syntec hope to see an increase in product crossover while also providing improved operational support for their customers.
“Syntec will remain its own entity and continue to provide the incredible service it is known for. It’s global reach, industry insights, and inventory power will continue to grow, with a bit of National’s help; but more as an emerging industry leader, never relenting on the cornerstone of putting the customer first.” – Derek Olson, CEO
