TOTO, the largest plumbing manufacturer in the world, and Villeroy & Boch, the leading European bathroom brand, have announced that their sales alliance is well under way. Since 2012, TOTO has been master distributor for all Villeroy & Boch bathroom products sold in the US and Canada, including toilets, decorative lavatories and washbasins, tubs, medicine cabinets, vanities and bathroom furniture. As master distributor, TOTO has assumed all sales, distribution and after-sales support for all Villeroy & Boch products, maintaining a large inventory in TOTO’s East and West Coast distribution centres.
Says Jason Fitzsimmons, VP – United States, Sales Division, TOTO USA, “We are very pleased with the sales alliance’s progress to date,” “We’ve developed an extensive network of distributors and elegant kitchen and bath showrooms that span the entire North American continent. Both TOTO and Villeroy & Boch are available throughout the U.S. and Canada through this new network, which is growing. We look forward to its continued active growth in 2015.”
Says Constantin von Boch, VP of Sales & Marketing, Villeroy & Boch USA, “We are beginning the third year of our sales alliance, and we have already developed a network of about 300 showrooms with further growth planned for 2015. We are glad that the presence of Villeroy & Boch has reached new strength: we’ve built a coast-to-coast distributor and showroom network with a representation in all main markets.
“At KBIS 2015, we presented, among others, our new Levanto vanities, a new bathroom furniture collection with very clean design lines, both functional and versatile. We are also presenting the Villeroy & Boch innovation DirectFlush, a WC with an intelligent water flow enhancing the hygiene inside the bowl.”
