5 Dec 2006
(Vancouver, B.C.) - Jeff Booth, President and CEO of BuildDirect, joined together with Mekmer Marble President Murat Kucuker to announce that BuildDirect will be taking over the wholesale marketing of all Mekmer products worldwide.
"We are proud to be expanding our relationship with the world's largest online wholesaler of building products", said Murat Kucuker, president of Mekmer Marble. "We have been working with BuildDirect for several years now selling the Kesir brand of travertine tiles. Because of the great success of this relationship we have now decided to outsource the sale of all Mekmer products to BuildDirect."
This new relationship will allow Mekmer to focus its efforts on production while allowing BuildDirect to handle all sales, distribution, shipping and customer service worldwide.
"By outsourcing their sales to BuildDirect, Mekmer will be able to lower the costs to their customers while continuing to provide the best quality products," said Jeff Booth of BuildDirect. "BuildDirect will also be able to offer a whole range of new products because of this partnership. The end result will be more choice and better pricing both for our customers."
The whole range of Mekmer products is available to order online at BuildDirect's website (http://www.builddirect.com) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Products can also be ordered by calling BuildDirect toll-free in North America at 1-877-631-2845 or worldwide at 1-604-662-8100
