Pergo Names Two New Distributors

Raleigh, NC, Jan. 12--Pergo has added two new distributors to its Midwest network. All Tile, Inc. of Elk Grove, IL, and CDC Distributors of Cincinnati will begin servicing retailers in the territory previously covered by Misco Shawnee, Inc., on February 1. “In an effort to better serve our Midwest specialty retailers, we decided not to renew our contract with Misco and instead divide the territory between two strong and trusted distributors,” said Kathy Andreas, marketing director of specialty business for Pergo. “Both All Tile and CDC Distributors have well-established customer bases with strong relationships and outstanding reputations for customer service. We are excited to have them as part of our distribution team.” All Tile, Inc., is a full-line flooring distributor that has been serving Midwestern retail storeowners since 1947. “Our company’s momentum is stronger than ever, and our reach has extended to more and more retailers,” said Marc Haberman, director of marketing for All Tile, Inc. “We’re excited because the combination of Pergo’s intense brand recognition and the strength of our service and logistics will prove to be unbeatable.” All Tile, Inc. will service retailers in the following areas:Illinois (western), Indiana (northwest), Michigan, Missouri (St. Louis metro), and Wisconsin (southern). CDC Distributors is a full-line flooring distributor that has been serving the Midwest for the past 27 years. “We consider this to be a huge opportunity because Pergo is really the brand name that consumers recognize,” said Dave Kurzner, vice president of sales and marketing for CDC Distributors. “Pergo will definitely be our largest laminate flooring line, and in a relatively short time, we anticipate that it will become our largest product line overall.” CDC Distributors will service retailers in the following areas: Illinois (southeast), Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia (western). “Pergo continues to be strongly committed to growing and servicing our specialty retailers,” added Andreas. “By sharing our commitment to customer service, these new distributors make ideal partners for us, as well as our Midwestern specialty retailers.”
