American Standard recently announced a new distribution agreement with Ferguson Enterprises to increase its market presence in the U.S. Ferguson Enterprises will become an authorized American Standard wholesaler as of January 1, 2014, and will supply American Standard kitchen and bath products in its showrooms and branch locations.
The addition of Ferguson is designed to expand American Standard’s penetration in the wholesale market, including presence in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, the Caribbean and Mexico.
“This partnership is key to American Standard’s growth plan for North America and is an important element of the global expansion strategy of our new parent, LIXIL,” said Jay Gould, American Standard Brands president and CEO. “Moreover, it represents a terrific opportunity for both us and Ferguson that will bring greater efficiencies through competition to the wholesale marketplace. The increased visibility of American Standard will benefit all of our customers by driving traffic to showrooms and counters across the country.”
