"This deal is good news for Florida Tile, for our employees as well as our customers," said Buck Burwell, CEO of Florida Tile. "We will have more to offer as part of Panariagroup."
Panariagroup said that the deal comes at a good time for the company. "With this transaction we concluded a very important investment," noted Guiliano Mussini, Panariagroup's chairman. "Not only in manufacturing but also in logistics and distribution, that otherwise would have required more financial effort and a longer time to be realized."
Added Burwell, "Panariagroup sees a great opportunity to distribute their products with our distribution network, and we can leverage their brand with our distribution ability."
