Pete Gebhardt of IAI, our local sales representative in Georgia, and I had a chance today to visit Bizchair.com’s impressive new facilities in the old Herman Miller building in Canton, GA. Though it hulks like a massive concrete behemoth in the middle of nowhere, large warehousing capabilities have fueled Bizchair’s meteoric rise to over $50 million in sales. Bizchair now boasts over 300,000 square feet of storage space, and they are continuing to grow their sales, even as the office furniture market is projected to drop 20% this year. Since we started doing business with them back in the beginning of 2006, they have consistently been one of our top distributors.
Gary Glazer, the president of Belnick, was very busy when we arrived, surrounded by paper on his desk and a 7-8 lust inspiring monitor configuration. I was glad for the opportunity to speak with him for a few minutes and get his reaction to the Solace chair. He thought that it was very comfortable and that it would follow the success of the Idealchair series on Bizchair.com. I for one hope that we can work with Gary and Bizchair to grow both our businesses in these turbulent economic times.
We'd love to hear your comments, so post them here.
