Arley Wholesale, Inc., a family-owned, third generation wholesale supplier of tile and stone hard surfaces, had over 250 dealers, retailers, designers and contractors in attendance for its annual tile and stone exhibition on June 15 at the luxurious Lackawanna Station Radisson in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
The company hosted over 30 factory representatives from some of the world's top tile and stone manufacturers in fully-installed vignettes to showcase the very latest tile and stone designs available right now for Arley customers.
With all of the porcelain, stone and glass tile collections in-stock or coming soon set in displays, Arley Wholesale welcomed key decision makers and purchasers from its 1,600 dealers, architects and designers located from Maine to Florida. The full-day event is an extension of the core values responsible for the uncommon connection and loyalty existing between Arley and its extensive dealer network. Built on service, selection and stability, Arley's continued success comes through a partnership approach that blurs the divide between family, employee, supplier and customer.
"People buy from people," said Jeff Halasy, owner of Renaissance Ceramic Tile & Marble in Horsham, PA. "Arley Wholesale is a familyrun business that's well-known for its partnership approach. They select the right products, develop the right programs and give us the support we need to go beyond the showroom. In the end it's all about people, products and service, and Arley Wholesale is very good at it."
The 8th Annual Arley Wholesale Tile & Stone Exposition included the Arley Golf Classic followed by an elegant catered dinner on the eve of the show. For Arley, the annual tradeshow is actually part of a 3-day program that began with meetings on Sunday night.
"We showcase products and market display ideas on how to sell tile in almost every way possible," said Scott Levy, Arley Wholesale's executive vice president of operations. "We do a lot of the research for them and hand-select products that sell in this region. We have our customers simply circle what interests them on a detailed floor plan, and we'll follow up within 24 hours. We want Arley customers to know that we offer products and services they can't get elsewhere. Arley's invested in their success."
The Arley Expo is also a fun, relaxed time to celebrate success achieved through long-term relationships passed from one generation along to the next.
"It starts with the whole family-feel they put out there," said Antoinette Marsilio, showroom manager for Mohawk Tile & Marble Distributors. "Arley Wholesale offers such a wide variety of tile and stone. And the sales team goes way beyond the call of duty and then some. They deliver to us twice a week. But if we needed it five days a week they would do that, and they have."
Through service, selection and stability, Arley Wholesale has built a loyal network of industry partners and remains the supplier of choice for high-quality, high-design porcelain, stone and glass tiles on the East Coast.
