One of our biggest vendors,Kale Group, purchased Fincuoghi, the owner of such tile brands as Edilcuoghi and Edilgres. According to the Kale Group Chairman Zeynep Bodur Okyay, who spoke to Dunya Gazetesi in Turkey, this is a first for Italian tile industry since until a few years ago the purchase of an domestic company by a foreign tile manufacturer was out of question. We will be carrying both of these brands at our showroom in Minneapolis. More on the subject at: http://blog.tcp.gov.tr/?p=3204
