Fishman Flooring Solutions to Recognize Customers and Vendors with Day-Long 100th Anniversary Celebration
“In our centennial year, we wanted to take an entire day to shine the spotlight on those outside the company who make Fishman successful,” said Bill Mabeus, Fishman executive vice president. “This is our way of thanking our customers for their business and showing our appreciation for our vendors, who have been instrumental in what we have achieved.”
The first 100 customers to visit any of the 37 Fishman branches during business hours on March 28, 2019 will receive a free centennial-branded T-shirt. In addition, a locally-catered lunch will be served between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM for visitors at each branch. In the larger Fishman branches, select vendors will have the opportunity to showcase their products to customers that day.
