Behind the EarthWerks® name is the family business Swiff-Train from Texas (USA) – founded in 1937 by Josef Swiff and Herbert Train. Especially considering the fact that Swiff-Train has a long heritage and experience in the area of design floor coverings (Luxury Vinyl Tiles, LVT), and a very sound history of experience in this arena. Since 1985, this experience has woven itself into every facet of company innovation, and into every development, and every collection.
