Founded in 1991, Vector Concepts, Inc. is an independently owned commercial flooring company based in Irving, Texas. With over 125 years of combined experience among its leadership team, including owners Tim Watkins and Jody Skaggs, Vector Concepts is dedicated to delivering high-quality products and exceptional service to its clients. The company initially aimed to fill a gap in the commercial flooring market, focusing exclusively on that segment after realizing opportunities were overlooked by prior employers.
Throughout its history, Vector Concepts has thrived by building strong relationships with general contractors and leveraging a network of connections to secure projects. A significant boost to their early growth was their partnership with Trammel Crow Co., a major developer that aligned well with Vector’s goals.
As the company evolved, it recognized the need to adapt its business model to better control project specifications and increase profitability. This included shifting its focus towards working directly with architects, designers, and end-users, resulting in a substantial increase in the scope of work and enhancing their reputation in the industry. A notable expansion area has been sports flooring, as Vector Concepts became the exclusive partner for Gerflor in multiple states. Additionally, the company has ventured into other specialized flooring types and sectors, including healthcare and education.
The company is also a proud member of Starnet Worldwide Commercial Flooring Partnership, which enhances their vendor relationships and access to training. In addressing the challenges of attracting younger talent and evolving workforce needs, Vector Concepts has initiated programs to involve the next generation in the business. Community involvement is also a cornerstone of their mission, with initiatives supporting homeless children in Zambia and promoting employee engagement in charitable work.
Overall, Vector Concepts prides itself on its commitment to ethical business practices, teamwork, and innovation within the commercial flooring space, ensuring that projects are completed successfully while fostering growth, integrity, and community support.
