Amtico International was established in 1964 as a joint venture between Courtaulds and American Biltrite. By 1969 Courtaulds had acquired the whole business in the UK and license to use the Amtico brand name in every country outside North America. Throughout the 1980's the company sales boomed and the process of re-branding and expanding began in earnest.

In 1989, the first Amtico Studio was opened in Epsom, Surrey. It was a showcase for the company's products and encouraged home owners and specifiers to create their own flooring designs.

Over the next four years, the Company established a global network of Studios and set up its own companies in Germany and Australia. When they acquired the rights in 1993 to use the Amtico name in America, Studios (and later manufacturing facilities) were opened in the USA and Amtico International Inc was formed.

In 1996, the management of the Company completed a management buy-out from Courtaulds Plc, backed by Electra Partners Europe Limited, during which time the company enjoyed significant growth.

In 2006, ABN AMRO Capital acquired a majority shareholding in the company.

Over the last several years Amtico International has refreshed and rationalized its ranges, redefined its manufacturing efficiencies and reorganized its internal structures, alongside developing and introducing its new corporate identity and achieving impressive sales growth. 

In March 2012, Mannington Mills headquartered in Salem, NJ acquired Amtico International from ABN AMRO Capital in a move to broaden its US manufacturing base and global reach.
