Florida Design Trip

Brie Bailey, our Rug Program & Development Designer, had an amazing time meeting and mingling with several of our accounts in Orlando last month.

She began with a Lunch and Learn at L2 Studios, teaching a group of their talented designers about our rug program and all the options MGroup could provide. She followed this meeting with a quick introduction to the account managers at Carroll Adams. The following day Brie got to visit two more accounts, Beyer Brown and Niemann Interiors.

She is extremely excited to begin getting to personally meet with all the accounts and people that she works with. If you have any questions regarding rugs or any accounts, feel free to reach out to her and she will be happy to help!

Tariffs & Trade Update

We received good news, finally, regarding tariffs on Mshower® and Ultracera® products. Tariffs on both products were scheduled to be reduced at the start of this month, February 1, 2020. We are still facing very high anti-dumping duties on quartz countertops, vanities, and kitchen cabinets made in China.

For the most up-to-date information regarding tariffs, watch our new Tariffs & Trade video available on the MGroup Youtube channel. This is also a great resource to share with customers with any questions.
