Grow's new company to offer manufacturers strategic advise
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, April 24, 2005
High Point — Industry veteran Dan Grow has formed a company to advise domestic and overseas high-end furniture producers on design, marketing and distribution strategies.
D.M. Grow has been launched with two primary clients, a Chinese case goods producer and a North Carolina upholstery manufacturer. Grow declined to name them, but said the Chinese company is in the early stages of producing premium bedroom furniture and will later move into other case goods categories.
The upholstery company is developing a new division concentrating on upscale casual contemporary looks, complementing its primarily traditional styles, with sofas retailing from about $2,000 to $4,000.
Grow, who joined Scottsdale, Ariz.-based retailer Ladlow's Fine Furniture as president early last year, left recently to return to North Carolina and concentrate on manufacturing and marketing.
His new company "will represent and contract with U.S. and international furniture manufacturers in the sales, marketing and design of their products to the leading U.S. home furnishings retailers," he said. It also will offer start-up manufacturers with marketing and product design assistance.
Grow was CEO of Fine Furniture Design & Marketing before joining Ladlow's. Prior to that, he was president and CEO of Drexel Heritage for 10 years and in management posts at Thomasville Furniture Inds. for 10 years.
