Efficient air. Expanded potential.
FLORENCE, AL — Tarkett USA Inc., a global leader in innovative flooring and sports surface solutions, recently completed a strategic upgrade to its compressed air system at its Florence, Alabama, facility. The investment not only strengthens day-to-day operational efficiency but also positions the facility for future growth, with help from a TVA EnergyRight custom incentive. Before the upgrade, Tarkett relied on a single 75 HP air compressor to meet production demands. While functional, the aging equipment lacked the energy efficiency and flexibility needed for a modern, high-output manufacturing environment.
A smarter system for a growing operation
With support from TVA EnergyRight and Florence Utilities, Tarkett replaced the outdated compressor with a 100 HP model featuring variable speed drive (VSD) controls. The new system is projected to save more than 76,000 kWh annually, allowing the facility to scale production efficiently. TVA EnergyRight® provided a custom incentive of $9,204, helping offset project costs while accelerating Tarkett’s return on investment.
