April 26th marks South Dakota Day, and at Life Floor, we're proud to honor this state that plays a central role in our story. While our headquarters are in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Life Floor is manufactured in South Dakota, where precision, innovation, and craftsmanship come together to create the world's safest aquatic flooring.
Manufacturing in the U.S. is more than a business decision—it reflects our values. By producing Life Floor tiles domestically, we reduce the environmental waste and carbon footprint associated with transporting commercial goods across oceans and continents. Fewer shipping miles means a smaller environmental impact, and that aligns perfectly with our mission to make spaces safer, more beautiful, and more sustainable.
Expanding to Serve a Global Market
As our business has grown internationally, so has our commitment to efficiency, sustainability, and customer service. We also have an established manufacturing facility in China to serve our customers across the Asia-Pacific region. This location helps us reduce long-distance shipping needs, lower our global carbon footprint, and improve delivery times without compromising our product's high standards.
Our dual-manufacturing model supports faster turnaround times, available inventory, and cost-effective shipping—an important step in helping customers work around tariff-related challenges and global logistics disruptions.
Built on Core Values
At Life Floor, our work is driven by our core values:
People First – From children at play to staff in aquatic facilities, we put people's safety and comfort at the center of everything we do.
Impact Driven – We design for meaningful change, improving the built environment and setting new standards for what safety looks and feels like.
Collaborative by Nature – Our team works hand-in-hand with clients, designers, and contractors to bring visionary spaces to life.
Always with Integrity – We stand behind our product and process with transparency, accountability, and pride.
These values are at the heart of our South Dakota facility and every project we support. We're proud to say that Life Floor is Made in the U.S.A.—and made for the world.
Ready When You Are
With expanded manufacturing and installation capacity, short lead times, and inventory on hand, we're ready to support your next project—whether it's a local aquatic center, a cruise ship deck, or an international waterpark. When you choose Life Floor, you're not just choosing safety and design—you're choosing a partner committed to quality, sustainability, and responsive service.
This South Dakota Day, we're celebrating where we came from, how far we've come, and the exciting future ahead. From the Midwest to the world, thank you for trusting Life Floor.
