Why The 1920 Collection: Our Story, Heritage, and Commitment to Quality

At The 1920 Collection, we believe every floor tells a story. Ours begins more than a century ago with the founding of our parent company, Apollo Distributing Company, in 1920. For four generations, our family has been dedicated to bringing exceptional flooring to homes and businesses throughout New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania.

Over the years, Apollo has proudly represented some of the finest flooring manufacturers in the world. But we also developed a number of private label products that reflected our own vision—products we were deeply proud of but didn’t yet have a dedicated space to showcase. That desire to give these designs a home of their own led to the creation of The 1920 Collection.

A Legacy Reimagined

The name “The 1920 Collection” is more than a date—it’s a tribute to our roots. It represents generations of dedication, craftsmanship, and family values. It’s also a reminder that while design trends evolve, true quality and integrity never go out of style.

By launching The 1920 Collection, we wanted to blend that sense of tradition with a fresh, modern outlook. Our goal is to offer flooring that not only performs beautifully but also elevates the spaces people live, work, and create in. Whether you’re a homeowner planning a renovation, a designer shaping a client’s dream interior, or a builder looking for reliable quality, The 1920 Collection was made with you in mind.

Designed for Every Vision

Our products are thoughtfully curated to meet the needs of today’s diverse design world. From luxury vinyl plank (LVP) to innovative waterproof flooring, our collections combine advanced technology with timeless design. We focus on style, durability, and accessibility, offering a range of colors, textures, and wear layers that suit every taste and budget.

Each product in The 1920 Collection reflects our passion for craftsmanship and innovation.

A Family Tradition of Quality

As a family-owned business, we take great pride in what we do. The 1920 Collection carries forward the same principles that have guided Apollo Distributing for over a century—honesty, reliability, and care for every customer. We’re not just selling flooring; we’re helping people bring their ideas to life.

When you choose The 1920 Collection, you’re choosing more than a product. You’re joining a story that began in 1920 and continues through every home, business, and project we touch today.
