Italy's GieMme stepping up U.S. sales efforts

Article Abstract:

Francesco Molon/GieMme, a Romano D'Ezzelino, Italy-based furniture maker, blessed its new 25,000-sq-ft showroom building worth $2 million on North Hamilton Street in High Point, NC. The new facility will also serve as its permanent showroom and US sales office. As part of efforts to promote US sales, the company is also hiring sales representatives nationwide. The company's initial thrust will focus on the west since its present sales efforts are largely focused in the Northeast. The company's furniture, produced from its factory complex in northeast Italy near Trieste, are sold mostly in upscale furniture stores and design showrooms.
