Our Story

From a Single Truck to a National Network

ZT Worldwide Services was founded in 1999 by Zhazgul Tumenova, a flooring industry veteran who spent years frustrated by unreliable distributors, inconsistent product quality, and suppliers who didn't understand the realities of a job site — or the needs of everyday customers.

He started with one truck, a 2,000 sq ft warehouse on Chicago's South Side, and a simple promise: deliver the right product, on time, every time, at a price that's fair for everyone — homeowners, businesses, and building professionals alike.

Twenty-five years later, ZT operates regional distribution centers across the country,  and serves thousands of customers in 48 states. The promise hasn't changed.

Wholesale pricing shouldn't be a secret. We believe every homeowner, business owner, and builder deserves access to professional-grade products at fair prices.

Transparent Pricing

No hidden fees, no bait-and-switch. Our pricing is clear and consistent — whether you're buying one box or a full truckload.
