Syosset, NY, July 12--Stanton Carpet Corporation will be the exclusive partner in the United States responsible for the sale and distribution of Balta's Noblesse wool carpet program. The joint announcement was made yesterday by Jonathan Cohen, executive vice president of Stanton Carpet Corporation and Jan Vergote, general manager of Balta broadloom. Effective July 18th, Stanton will take over distribution of Balta's Noblesse program of tufted wool carpets in the United States through its national sales force. Joris Maes, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Balta's International Broadloom sales will oversee the program on behalf of Balta and report directly to Jan Vergote.
