Morelock Wood Products Announces New National Distribution Partnerships
Atlantic West and T&G Hardwood Sign Regional Distribution Agreements
April 9, 2003—St. Louis, MO—Morelock Wood Products, known for its custom production of niche market wood products, today announced its new partnership agreements with Atlantic West Flooring Distributors and T&G Hardwood to distribute its high-end flooring, mouldings and accessories on a national level.
Atlantic West, a distributor based in Denver, Colorado, signed with Morelock Wood Products in February 2003 to become the exclusive distributor of Morelock’s products in the states of Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico. Atlantic West saw Morelock as a perfect fit for the partnership, as both companies share commitment to quality, customer service and professional corporate culture. The market timeliness of unique species and grades of flooring also contributed to Atlantic West’s decision to distribute Morelock products.
“We are excited to offer our customers Morelock flooring products,” said Brady L. Hendren, president of Atlantic West Flooring Distributors. “We have installed special Morelock-produced displays in all of our retail outlets and expect to receive a huge response—especially from the more exclusive Western species that Morelock Wood Products offers.”
T&G Hardwood, based in Roseville, Minnesota, is now the exclusive distributor of Morelock Wood Products’ flooring in the eastern portions of North and South Dakota, Minnesota, western Wisconsin and northern Iowa.
“In today’s market, our customers are demanding uniqueness and variety in wood flooring,” said Tim Valder, president of T&G Hardwood. “Morelock’s selection of species, grades and plank widths appealed to us in their ability to meet the needs of our customers.”
Morelock’s hardwood flooring comes in a variety of species and widths, many being under-utilized Western species such as Pacific Coast maple, juniper, madrone and Oregon white oak. By adding this product line to their distribution network, Atlantic West and T&G Hardwood are able to offer their customers a greater selection of unique flooring options.
An innovator in the use and testing of many Western wood species and new wood treatment processes, Morelock Wood Products has several divisions that specialize in flooring, mouldings, millwork and more. The company is committed to expanding the market for under-utilized flooring species and to discovering new methods for the production of custom products.
