Artisan Group Member Fine Line Pacific
Aligns with Floform Countertops
Several Countertop Companies that Merged a Few Years Ago Now Share the Same Name

Effective August 1, 2011 Fine Line Pacific aligned with the corporate brand name "Floform Countertops."

This brand alignment to Floform Countertops brings together the former companies of R. S. Pacific, Custom Countertops, Fineline Surfaces, Multi-Tec, Millennium Stone, Kendra Countertops, Archer's Countertops, Flo Form Industries and others into one concise brand. Each of these companies has had between 10 and 50 years of experience in the countertop business in the Northwestern United States and Western Canada.

"Although our name in the US is changing, we'll continue to be the leading manufacturer and installer of quality countertops offering the widest range of products, fabrication techniques and installation options available in the marketplace today, along with unparalleled customer service," says Ted Sherritt, owner, Floform Countertops.

Moving forward, the Floform Countertops brand will consolidate the company's marketing focus including interactive media, print, showroom, vehicle and building signage, clothing, promotional items, etc.

"Today, we are a brand-driven company focused on one global mission," says Sherritt. "The mission is to consistently provide our customers the best countertop purchasing experience available in our marketplace. This alignment will, over the long term, allow the company to increase brand recognition and provide the opportunity to emphasize the comprehensive nature of the business, the large geographic footprint it services and the breadth of products offered."
