Acme Brick Tile & Stone Company Becomes "First Official Distributor" of Del Conca USA
February 2014. For immediate release. Del Conca USA, the new North American manufacturing facility of Ceramica del Conca S.p.A. (one of Italy's premier producers of porcelain stoneware tile) slated to "inaugurate" the factory this spring, has announced that Acme Brick Tile & Stone (formerly Jenkins Brick & Tile) Berkshire Hathaway Companies has recently signed on as its "first official distributor."
According to Tony Whitfield, Jenkins' General Manager/Tile Operations, "We are very excited about this. In particular, because we'll have a great domestic supplier right here in the Southeastern part of the United States. Receiving materials will be quick and shipping will be cost-efficient. And, Del Conca USA is supporting our American economy by providing more than 100 people with new jobs."
Whitfield went on to state that Acme Brick Tile & Stone will be distributing the Del Conca USA line throughout their 17 locations in the Southeastern United States. Headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, Acme Brick Tile & Stone is a true American institution, being in business since the late 1800's.
"Acme is a company known for its professionalism and integrity," declared Juan Molina, General Manager-Sales & Marketing for Del Conca USA. "I've had the pleasure of working with Tony Whitfield and his team in the past. We have no doubt that his firm will do an outstanding job distributing our beautiful, high-performance range of products."
The new North American Del Conca USA facility in Loudon County, Tennessee (just south of Knoxville) will include a 30,000 square meter/323,000 square foot complex with production facilities, research labs, showrooms and administrative offices. With an initial investment of $50 million US, tile production is planned to begin in early 2014, and based upon projected business growth, another investment of $20 million US will take place in the next four-to-six years.
