Daniel Ortiz, Lititz Flooring Company
NAFCT INSTRUCTOR | INTERPRETER & TRANSLATOR
Having come up through the proper channels, Daniel’s introduction to the flooring industry was that of a helper. Material stagging, sweeping, and the occasional adhesive application became the stepping stones in what became a long lasting career in the flooring industry. As time passed, Daniel continued to absorb and learn, steadily climbing through the “rankings” of the flooring industry from helper, mechanic, field superintendent, installation manager, eventually reaching the position of Director of Operations for a multi-million dollar commercial flooring company. As the industry continued to progress, so did Daniel’s desire to educate not only himself but those around him as well. Having participated in several industry related organizations and contributed to several industry related publications, it became clear to Daniel that his interest in the industry was tied to education. Having made the transition over to the manufacturing technical side in 2020 with Lititz Flooring, Daniel has been able to further develop and educate himself in order to provide guidance, solutions, and technical assistance to individuals seeking to further develop their understanding of the product’s he represents. He further desires to develop this commitment to the flooring industry by seeking involvement in the NAFCT organization as a bilingual (English/Spanish) translator, making the education and certifications provided by the organization available to those who are not fluent in the English language.
