Decio Magnani, President/CEO Portobello America, Inc.

In a major campaign to upgrade stateside services, Portobello America is now positioned to operate as a factory with representation being handled by its own employees within the U.S. The sales focus of these people is primarily on distribution.

“By making this change, infrastructure was reduced and inventory was able to be centralized from the firm’s Pompano Beach, FL facility,” stated Decio Magnani, President/CEO of Portobello America. “Most of the shipments are now factory-direct, but there is always a local inventory for back-up purposes. By changing our business format, we allow our new trends to be promoted faster in both residential and commercial sectors.”

Portobello America has provided its tile materials to a number of signature commercial projects within North America including Disney Contemporary Suites and Disney Animal Kingdom Lodge, Orlando; Fontainebleau Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas; Four Seasons Grand Exuma Island, Caribbean; Sheraton Hotel, Convention Center and Merchandise Mart, Miami… and, many more.

Decio Magnani, who has been working with Portobello in the markets of the United States, Central America and the Caribbean for more than 15 years, synopsized Portobello America's updated "mission statement" with these words:

“Portobello’s mission is to provide fashionable ceramic and porcelain products to the American consumer. By maintaining outstanding customer service and the respect for the environment, we will grant sustainability in our partnerships and nature.”
