Graduates of the inaugural CCTI program at Coverings.

Raimondi Tools USA, a premier supplier of an innovative, high-quality line of professional tools for the tile and stone industry, has donated dozens of hand tools to the Ceramic Tile Education Foundation (CTEF) for use in its training facility for students.

Education is an industry challenge. Raimondi’s support helps CTEF meet this challenge and demonstrates its commitment to education. Donated Raimondi tools are now used in CTEF education programs, such as the Understanding and Installing Ceramic Tile program, the Certified Ceramic Tile Installer program, and the initial certification class held during Coverings 2008 in Orlando, Florida.

Raimondi is also offering a lifetime discount of 15 percent off of all tools purchased by graduates of the CTEF Certification Program. By supporting the foundation and its graduates, Raimondi is supporting quality education along with other dedicated companies who have given generously to CTEF.

“Raimondi has always been very good to the CTEF with donations of tools and support of our programs,” said Scott M. Carothers, executive director of CTEF. “They have really gone one step beyond to help our graduates be successful by offering the exclusive discount program.”
