SURYA TO HEAT UP WINTER MARKETS WITH ‘ULTRA VIOLET’ RUGS AND ACCESSORIES 12.07.17
Just in time for the winter markets, Surya will be showcasing a variety of rugs and accessories in Ultra Violet, the
Pantone® 2018 Color of the Year. Featured as a primary and accent color in many Surya products, the newly announced Color of the Year is deemed a “dramatically provocative and thoughtful purple shade” that “communicates originality, ingenuity and visionary thinking.”
According to Pantone, Ultra Violet symbolizes the current era’s innovation and future aspirations, alluding to the desire to achieve a higher level of consciousness and impact. Historically, purples have been associated with figures known for their creativity, uniqueness, influence, and excellence, all of which echo the ambitions of various individuals and companies, across all industries.
“Synonymous with luxury, creativity and imagination, Ultra Violet is the perfect choice for the 2018 Pantone Color of the Year,” says Lynne Meredith, vice president of product development at Surya. “We are seeing all shades of purple and mauve emerge as a key color for textiles and decorative accents. It is a great inspirational shade for residential and commercial spaces looking to establish and maintain a sense of grandeur and originality.”
Ultra Violet brings nuance and intricacy to the home décor and design industry, allowing for astute individuality. The hue can create a bold impression through large-scale artwork and detailed, graphic rugs or serve as a subtle accent via simple combinations of small accessories. No matter the approach, it is accessible for virtually any style and space.
During the upcoming winter markets in Atlanta and Dallas, visitors to Surya’s showrooms will be able to experience a curated assortment of Ultra Violet accessories including rugs, pillows, poufs, art, and more.

SURYA TO LAUNCH HYPER-DURABLE BELLA-DURA® OUTDOOR RUG COLLECTION AT HIGH POINT MARKET 9.14.17
At High Point Market, Surya will introduce a new line of indoor-outdoor rugs in partnership with the high-performance fabric manufacturer Bella-Dura®. Constructed with Bella-Dura® solution dyed polyolefin, the Maritime rug collection offers exceptional durability, ideal for residential and commercial spaces.
“This is not your typical run-of-the-mill polyolefin,” said Susan Lobel, vice president of marketing and brand development at Bella-Dura®. “Our fiber has been infused with silver ion technology, making it anti-bacterial and mildew-resistant, and has also been engineered to offer greater UV-protection than typical materials. This allows Bella-Dura® polyolefin to stand apart from other fibers and finishes.”
The Maritime collection includes 15 hand-woven, outdoor-safe rugs that are inherently bleach cleanable, stain, pill, and microbe resistant with the ability to endure over 1,500 hours of direct sunlight without fading. Additionally, the Maritime collection is fully sustainable, crafted with the only fiber on the market, synthetic or natural, that begins as a by-product and ends its life as a fully recyclable product. “We designed the Maritime collection with designers, decorative wholesalers, hotels, and cruise lines in mind,” said Lynne Meredith, vice president of product development at Surya.
“We intentionally included a mix of bold and neutral color palettes in striped patterns to appeal to a variety of potential design and lifestyle demands. Bella-Dura®’s incredibly resilient fiber composition makes this one of the strongest and most low-maintenance outdoor safe rug collections in the market.” In addition to the new Maritime rug collection, Surya’s popular Caplin outdoor pillows are also designed with Bella-Dura® fabric.
Surya’s showroom at Showplace 4100 will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., beginning Friday, Oct. 13. Market attendees are encouraged to schedule an appointment with a Surya sales specialist at

SURYA NAMED TO INC. 5000 LIST OF FASTEST GROWING COMPANIES FOR SEVENTH STRAIGHT YEAR 8.16.17
For the seventh consecutive year, Surya has been recognized on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment— its independent small and midsized businesses. Companies such as Microsoft, Dell, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees of the Inc. 5000.
Surya earned its spot on the list this year based on 51 percent three-year revenue growth to $124 million and the addition of 191 jobs during the same period. By revenue, Surya ranked 11th in the Consumer Products and Services category and 13th among the 233 Georgia-based companies on the list. In recognition of its solid track record of more than five years of strong and consistent growth, Surya continues to hold its spot on the Inc. 5000 Honor Roll.
Surya’s steady organic growth has been a result of a series of bold strategic decisions. Since 2010, Surya has incrementally added new product categories each year, branching from rugs to pillows, throws, lighting, wall decor, accent furniture, decorative accents, and bedding. In 2016, the company consolidated operations from seven warehouses into a single, one million-square-foot distribution facility, upgraded to a powerful new multi-million dollar warehouse management system and implemented state-of-the-art racking technology. Today, Surya is able to seamlessly provide retailers and designers with access to over 60,000 SKUs and offers the fastest fulfillment rates in the industry.
“We pride ourselves on our ability to ‘think big and move fast,’” said Satya Tiwari, president of Surya. “It is one of our core values and, with the support of our loyal employees and customers, we have been able to reap the benefits of successful execution of our lofty goals. We appreciate being recognized on the Inc. 5000 list for a seventh year. To think of how we have grown since our first year on the list to today is nothing short of amazing and I look forward to continuing the upward growth trajectory for years to come.”
Unveiled online at Inc.com, the 2017 Inc. 5000 is the most competitive crop in the list’s history. "The Inc. 5000 is the most persuasive evidence I know that the American Dream is still alive,” says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “The founders and CEOs of the Inc. 5000 tell us they think determination, risk taking, and vision were the keys to their success, and I believe them.”
The 2017 Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2013 to 2016. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2013 and be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of Dec. 31, 2016.

“Our goal is to simplify the accessories buying experience for our customers, so we want to make our products more accessible to them,” said Satya Tiwari, president of Surya. “Our new state-of-the-art showrooms will provide a one-stop shop for accessories, where customers can experience our products on their own schedule, as often as they like. We have been collaborating with our customers and the design community at large over the last few months to develop the concept and plan for our new showrooms. We look forward to bringing this vision to reality.”
Building on the success of its year-round showrooms in Dallas and Atlanta, Surya will feature its full rug line in each new showroom, as well as best sellers from each product category.
