| Article | May 5, 2010—San Diego— DuChateau Floors, manufacturer of luxury, FSC-certified, wide-planked European hardwood floors, has expanded its market by partnering with five key distributors along the East Coast. The alliances include Patriot Flooring Distributors, covering New England; All State Flooring Distributors in Fairfield, NJ, serving metro New York and northern New Jersey; Derr Flooring, which distributes to eight states from New York to Virginia; Dealer Supply South, distributing in North and South Carolina; and J.J. Haines / Wheeler Group, which covers Georgia and Florida. “According to economic indicators, and the American Institute of Architects, we are anticipating an uptick in non-residential building construction in the second half of the year,” said Duchateau President Misael “Mitch” Tagle. “By lining up our essential distribution partnerships now, we are primed for the turnaround in the building sector. We want to make it easy for our architectural, design and retail flooring customers to find high-quality, European hardwood floors through us while offering top-of-the-line customer service and expedient order fulfillment.” Scott Lithgow, east coast sales manager for DuChateau Floors, says the company is already receiving orders from builders. “We are extremely busy, and by teaming up with top players in every key East Coast market through Florida, we are ready to pursue both commercial and residential projects in these areas and be a key partner to specifiers.” About DuChateau Floors DuChateau Floors manufactures and markets wide-plank wood floors that offer the look, feel and longevity of old-world European surfaces crafted centuries ago.
