Cole & Co. Identifies Trends in Hospitality Sector to Faciliate Growth
DALLAS, TX, February 22, 2006. Cole & Co., the Dallas based award-winning manufacturer of bathroom cabinetry, furniture and accessories, and one of Inc 500's fastest growing companies, targets the hospitality sector for future growth. The company is offering its design, manufacturing and delivery capabilities to the hospitality industry as a turnkey single source solution based on its success in identifying industry trends and meeting demands of its customers. According to Christopher Cole, President of Cole & Co., "we are able to offer customized product selections that fit the hotel's brand at greater value than ever before due to improved manufacturing and the number of strategic partnerships we have built with high quality brands in the last year."
Cole & Co. is no newcomer to the hospitality arena. The company's flexibility and quick response to market trends have already captured the attention of industry giants such as Starwood, Westin, Four Points by Sheraton, Intercontinental and Loews Hotels.
Coinciding with its new Urban Theory introduction-a contemporary collection of vanities introduced to market this month-the company believes it is well positioned to acquire greater market share of hospitality accounts. The collection has a strong urban look of modern, sculpted elements that fits in well with the direction the hospitality industry is taking in developing new markets. Urban Theory is just one of Cole & Co's collections. Other collections feature different styles from traditional to contemporary at price points that are favorable for hospitality.
Cole attributes its success to identifying and legitimizing trends in furniture for the bath and the effects this has had on the industry. But now it isn't only bathroom vanities and cabinetry that are Cole & Co.'s main product lines. Cole now adds a full line of plumbing fixtures, accessories, mirrors, case goods, upholstery, soft goods and lighting to its existing collections of exclusive furniture for the bath products. The company's growth comes from a savvy president who saw the necessity to build alliances with other brand name vendors in order to deliver one source options to its customers.
