By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, September 10, 2007
Ontario, Calif. — Case goods supplier A.R.T. Furniture has named industry veteran Bill Sibbick to the newly created position of vice president of sales, reporting to CEO Ed Grund.
Sibbick most recently was senior vice president of sales at Pulaski Furniture and earlier worked at Stanley and Lane.
Grund said Sibbick is joining importer A.R.T. "to assist with the dramatic growth in sales we have experienced during our first four years in business. We needed to strengthen the sales function of our organization to continue to provide quality service to our growing account base."
He said Sibbick has had "an impressive career" of more than 25 years in sales management, product development and marketing.
Sibbick will be based in High Point. At the High Point Market, which opens Oct. 1, A.R.T. will show in a new, larger showroom of 40,000 square feet on the second floor of Plaza Suites. Previously, the company had shown in 28,000 square feet in Market Square.
"This investment reflects our commitment to the High Point Market and an ongoing desire to increase the convenience of our location," Grund said.
A.R.T. also is scheduled to move to a 22,000-square-foot showroom in Building C of the World Market Center in Las Vegas in July 2008. It now shows in 8,000 square feet in Building A.
