The Antron® Brand Teams with Tandus Centiva and Suzanne Tick to Support Publicolor Dalton, GA (January 29, 2015) - Tandus Centiva is excited to announce the Antron® brand as a contributing supplier in our support of Publicolor to raise funding and awareness for the Publicolor Summer Design Studio. Suzanne Tick designs a collection of soft surface flooring products for Tandus Centiva. When a product from this collection is specified and purchased for an education project, Suzanne Tick Inc. (STI) and Tandus Centiva have each committed a $0.10/sq. yd. (totaling a $0.20) donation to Publicolor. Antron® has committed to matching an additional $0.10/sq. yd. (totaling a $0.30) donation to Publicolor for products using Antron® fiber. “We are pleased to join Suzanne Tick and Tandus Centiva in supporting Publicolor,” said Marc Ahrens, vice president of INVISTA’s Antron® brand. “We are committed to adding value to society, and Publicolor’s efforts to increase student achievement align with our vision and values.” With over 40 STI designs to choose from, 15 are made using Antron® fiber to meet K-12 and higher education demands. Purchases of these products will help make a positive impact on the lives of Publicolor students. “We are thrilled and grateful to partner with Tandus Centiva, Antron® and Publicolor's trustee, Suzanne Tick, on this program to benefit Publicolor's Summer Design Studio, our unique 7-week literacy and math immersion program for highrisk students which we teach through the scaffold of product design. We deliberately hold this on Pratt Institute's campus so our students feel comfortable in a college setting. Our non-traditional curriculum that emphasizes tactile learning experiences and design thinking empowers our students to think creatively and plan for their successful future in college and career. We look forward to our long-term collaboration in transforming lives through the powers of design, design thinking and civic engagement,” said Publicolor’s Founder and President Ruth Lande Shuman. Publicolor recently received the 2014 National Arts+Humanities Youth Program Award from Michelle Obama at The White House. The award recognized the country’s best, creative youth development programs for using engagement in the arts to increase academic achievement, graduation rates and college enrollment.

About INVISTA With leading brands including LYCRA®, COOLMAX®, CORDURA®, STAINMASTER® and ANTRON®, INVISTA is one of the world’s largest integrated producers of chemical intermediates, polymers and fibers.
