1st Place Installer Congrats Brother Martin Alonso Diaz
Posted February 6, 2026
🏆 Congratulations to Martin Alonso Diaz (LU 567 / DC16) for taking 1st at The International Surface Event IUPAT Flooring Competition 🔥
The International Surface Event (TISE) showcases the high-level skills of our union floor coverers while giving us the opportunity to build strong relationships with manufacturers—helping ensure our members continue to have access to the best tools and products in our industry.
At this year’s competition, DC16, DC36, DC50, and DC5 went head-to-head, and we’re proud to give a huge shout out to our Brother Martin!
All competitors also received a set of tools (shown in the photos), generously donated by Robert’s Tools, Milwaukee, and Marshalltown — thank you for supporting union craftsmanship 👏🛠️
Proud of the talent, unity, and skill on display! 💪🏽✊
