Brentano Increases Presence in Pacific Northwest

Chicago, IL, March 04, 2010 --(PR.com)-- In early 2010, Brentano restructured their Pacific Northwest territory representation, adding Wayne Martin Portland, Wayne Martin Seattle, and The Ihli Group based out of Boise to service the states of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, respectively. Brentano selected Wayne Martin and The Ihli Group both for their compatibility with each company’s current lines, as well as for their history of excellent customer service. Additionally, by dividing the territory into more localized areas, Brentano looks forward to increasing the attention paid to clients and improving client’s overall experience.

Becky Ihli of the Ihli group says she was drawn to Brentano because she was looking for textiles to add to her primarily furniture line and in Brentano she found the “perfect fit.” She values the family-owned aspect of the company, as well as the “style and quality that Brentano offers.”

Brentano is also an ideal addition to the excellent interior offerings from Wayne Martin. Formed in Portland in 1971, Wayne Martin, Inc. is the Oregon and Washington resource for high quality interior design fabrics, with showrooms in both Seattle and Portland. In addition to the finest textiles, they also offer wallcoverings, furnishings, and lighting to design professionals.
