Omaha, Neb.—J.J. Haines is the latest major distributor to partner with the makers of Avaire porcelain tile. With distribution headquarters in Glen Burnie, 
Maryland, it will expand opportunities for the ceramic tile company from Pennsylvania to Florida.
“Our management, our salespeople, and our customers all see the value that Avaire product provides,” said Richard Cutting, ceramic marketing manager with J.J. Haines. “We showed the Avaire program at our J.J. Haines Loyalty Club meeting and the response was overwhelming.” He continued that a tremendous amount of displays and product were sold and the training session was standing room only. “Our early success with Avaire is outstanding, and we expect the success to continue to grow.”
Avaire also looks toward big things with the new partnership. “We are extremely pleased to be associated with J.J. Haines, the largest flooring distributor in 
the United States,” said Rob Tarver, Avaire’s vice president of sales and marketing. “It has a record of growing business by distributing quality products, caring about customers and generating customer loyalty. Their business philosophy matches ours exactly, and we look forward to a long and profitable association with them.”
