Sarreid to distribute Encore Mobili furniture
By Thomas Russell -- Furniture Today, October 20, 2008
HIGH POINT — High-end case goods importer Sarreid will distribute a new high-end line of wood furniture products made in Vietnam by new manufacturer Encore Mobili.
Encore Mobili announced that Sarreid will distribute its products in the United States and Canada starting this fall.
Sarreid will show a small selection of the new line here at the new Encore Mobili showroom at 301 N. Hamilton St., next to the Vanguard Furniture building during this month's market.
Encore Mobili is a new venture started by several former Theodore Alexander managers and investors. Among the principals are David Pemberton, Stelvio Guglielmi and Gerry Paglinawan. They are building a factory outside Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, the first phase of which is expected to be completed in January.
“I have known David for many years and we have worked together as investors in offshore factories in the past,” Sarreid President Alex Sarratt said in a statement. “It is a privilege for Sarreid to be the distributor for Encore Mobili in the United States.”
Sarreid also is showing its existing line at High Point in its own showroom space on the third floor of the C&D building.
