Introduction
From our founding in 1954, we built our business with one goal in mind: to deliver to our clients the best products, installed
with the most skilled and safety-conscious team and to provide world class service. Our customers deserve the best
product and service offerings; thats what drives us. Our commitment to quality and integrity is what has sustained us
through the ups and downs of the marketplace. And, it is the foundation upon which our business will continue to grow.
Our customers return to us, and refer us to others, because they know we are honest, fair and do what we promise.
This Code of Ethics is not intended to cover every situation we may face; rather it should be viewed as a set of values
and principles which every Bonitz employee strives to maintain.
Bonitzs reputation has been built by good people, doing good work. Our high standards, our honesty, the way we deal
with others those are the things that will continue to set the Bonitz Flooring Group team apart from others.
