LAUZON ANNOUNCES EXPANDED PARTNERSHIP WITH GALLEHER
LAUZON Distinctive Hardwood Flooring is pleased to announce that it has expanded its distributor partnership with Galleher by adding Floor Service Supply Co., a Galleher division based in San Jose, California, in the USA.
“This is a welcome addition to our distribution network”, notes Mario Bergamin, Vice President of Sales for LAUZON. “Galleher is one of the largest specialty hardwood flooring distributors in California, Arizona and Nevada. They have a knowledgeable, experienced and well-respected sales, logistical and support team. Our goal is always to associate ourselves with the very best – and adding this outstanding organization is a perfect fit for LAUZON”.
Established in 1932, Floor Service Supply Co. was acquired by Galleher in 2008. Galleher now services some 1,000 customers in northern California and northern Nevada through strategic distribution centers in San Jose and Sacramento, with central activity from a 45,000 sq. ft. facility in San Jose. “This main branch is supported with customer service, sales, credit, purchasing – all the typical functions of a major distributor” said Randy Wallace, Sales Manager for Galleher. “We specialize in hardwood flooring and that’s what sets us apart from the competition. With the addition of LAUZON’s flooring collections to our northern California supply chain, we can offer LAUZON at all eleven Galleher locations”.
LAUZON is excited about the potential for future success with this newest distributor. Together, LAUZON and Galleher represent the “cream of the crop” with their combined ability to provide quality hardwood flooring and accessories. The partnership is well positioned to keep the respective brands maintained and growing.
