PORTLAND, ME and PROVIDENCE, RI — (Marketwire) — 03/19/12 — Emery-Waterhouse, a leading distributor of hardlines and building materials, today announced the conclusion of another successful annual customer trade show. Marketplace 2012 hosted hundreds of the company-s customers at the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence March 16-17. At the show, customers participated in face-to-face meetings with Emery-Waterhouse representatives and manufacturers, received business updates and learned about the company-s recent rebranding initiative.
During Emery-Waterhouse-s annual customer trade show, President Steve Frawley focused his attention on the company-s recent rebranding, which was unveiled at the event. The company introduced a new tagline and positioning statement, both designed to underscore the company-s customer-centric growth strategy and capabilities. The new tagline, „Driven by your success,“ replaces „On the level. Every day“ to reflect the company-s focus on delivering results designed to help its customers grow.
„Once again, our Marketplace trade show proved to be a powerful venue for strengthening our customer relationships and further opening the lines of communication,“ said Frawley. „For Emery-Waterhouse, everything we do is focused on our customers- success. This event, our rebranding efforts and our day-to-day business operations are designed to strengthen that message. We do more than distribute product — we help our customers grow and become more profitable. This show was all about reinforcing our loyalty and commitment to that end.“
Despite the volatility of the housing market, Emery-Waterhouse continues to enjoy double-digit growth, due in part to expanding its presence in the paint and sundries category to include inner-city markets and dedicated paint stores.
