Natalie Kordt

Global Business Consultant

I moved from Germany to the United States in 2018 to go to college and pursue my volleyball career. After graduating with a Bachelor’s in Communication Studies, I decided to further my education with a MBA in Global Business. Speaking both German and English fluently, as well as living in both countries, has given me insights into both cultures and practices. After having worked for Schönox and gaining insights into the German and American flooring industry, I now want to assist and help other companies with making the transition into the American market.

Thomas Trissl


CEO of TMT America & Industry Specialist

I learned the flooring industry from the ground up, understanding what customers wanted and what it took to make a successful project. Pairing those early real-world experiences with my formal education in business and construction prepared me well for the road that I would travel when I left Germany. Throughout my career experiences to date, I have never strayed from a hands-on approach to business. Over the last 30 years in the US, I have built up companies like Centiva, Schönox, Küberit and TMT America.
