Completing four decades in the home furnishings industry, Surya is proud to announce the celebration of its 40th anniversary. The anniversary festivities will kick off with a special High Point Market celebration, set to take place in Surya’s flagship showroom (Showplace 4100) on Sunday, April 17 beginning at 6 p.m. The company will be holding a series of events, contests and promotions throughout the year to celebrate this important milestone.
Surya was founded in 1976 by Surya Tiwari as a small maker of hand-knotted rugs with a mission to preserve traditional artisan craft and create a better life for families in rural India. In 2006, Satya Tiwari took over as president. Today, the company is a recognized leader in the home furnishings industry.
Surya has incrementally added new product categories each year since 2010 – expanding from rugs to pillows, throws, wall decor, accent furniture, lighting, decorative accents and bedding – providing retailers and designers with access to 50,000+ coordinating accessories for every lifestyle and price point. This forward thinking approach has been instrumental in Surya’s growth. In the past several years, the company has extended its reach to additional channels, including the contract and outdoor segments.
Satya Tiwari shared, “We want to express our deepest gratitude to all of our valued customers who have put their trust in Surya during the past 40 years and continue to inspire us to greater heights. Our customers are the reason we strive to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the home decor market, and we never take them for granted. We know we must earn their business each and every day through hard work, determination and a passionate commitment to help them succeed – that’s what drives us. We can’t wait to see what the next 40 years will bring.”
With more than 15,000 customers, Surya continues to achieve significant double-digit digit revenue growth, reaching $100 million in sales in 2015, and earning a spot on Inc. Magazine’s list of America’s fastest growing privately held companies for the fifth consecutive year. In May, the company will move into a new, one-million-square-foot headquarters and distribution center in Cartersville, Ga. – providing a new home for its 400+ employees and bringing 200 new jobs to north Georgia.
