Caroma and Sustainable Solutions International (SSi) have entered into a long-term license agreement to distribute the Caroma brand and its products in North America.
SSi will be the distributor and marketer of the Caroma brand dedicated to strengthening and expanding sales in the United States. Caroma’s North America operations will be absorbed into SSi, with distribution continuing from facilities in California, Vancouver and Wisconsin.
SSi will have direct access to Caroma’s product design and R & D departments as well as production facilities. The two companies have agreed to work in collaboration regarding new product development with Caroma continuing to provide on-going technical support.
“We’ve been a distributor of the Caroma brand for quite some time; we know the products, understand the North American marketplace and respect their well-deserved reputation as innovators and leaders of high efficiency toilets. The SSi family and team have been fans for years and in fact one of our own founding partners introduced Caroma to North America in 1993,” said Doug Sproule, COO of SSi. “Our new partnership agreement confirms our commitment to our loyal customer base in the United States, Canada and Mexico, and it enables us to provide total environmentally responsible building solutions. For Caroma, they get the benefit of our deep roots in the industry—knowing what the market demands are, and being able to react and respond.”
