Wurster starting import business
By Jeff Linville -- Furniture Today, March 21, 2004
FORNEY, Texas — FORNEY, Texas — Steve Silver Co. is losing its chief operating officer as Jack Wurster is leaving to start his own import business.
Wurster is selling his minority share to the other owners for an undisclosed amount and is launching Embassy International.
Steve Silver, incorporated in 1987, specializes in imported dining and occasional furniture. Wurster said Embassy won't be in direct competition because it will import bedroom furniture. In fact, the parting is so amiable that President Steve Silver said he was pleased that Wurster has accepted an appointment to the Steve Silver Co. board of directors.
Wurster said Silver has been involved primarily in the marketing part of business and now will add Wurster's duties, which centered on product development and sourcing.
Norman Preskitt, chairman and chief executive officer, said, "Jack was an important part of our team and will be missed, but we shouldn't miss a beat with Steve stepping in."
Wurster plans to attend the High Point market to assist the company and tie up loose ends before focusing on Embassy. He said he has no plans for Embassy to take part in any markets at this time.
