Arley Wholesale, Inc., a family-owned, third-generation wholesale supplier of ceramic, porcelain, stone, glass mosaic tiles and installation materials, hosted its 15th Annual Arley Wholesale Tile & Stone Exposition on Tuesday, June 13th, at the historic Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel in Scranton, Pennsylvania. This concluded the annual three-day celebration, which included the highly popular Arley Golf Classic that Monday.

Arley’s President, Scott Levy proudly stated that 2017 would once again be a banner year for the firm… and, at this year’s event, strategic new developments to “bolster the business of everyone involved” were unveiled.

“Our private label program, Qualis Ceramica, debuted more beautiful and unique selections. By now, our customers know we guarantee these products cannot be sold online, so they already enjoy a strong comfort buying and selling Qualis Ceramica materials. We’ve expanded the collection to offer a few more “wood-look” porcelains with new, different sizes, and a large variety of various “natural stone-look” porcelain tiles with polished surfaces, waterjet-cut deco pieces, amazing slate replicas and much, much more.”

Levy added, “Our Riviera Collection, which includes the Escape line, features mosaics made with exquisite combinations of stone, glass and porcelain. The Inedita Essential line features dimensional tile in five modern color combinations with a variety of installation possibilities that use light as an artistic dimension.  We’re going to offer these higher-end materials at incredible prices and help our clients recognize enhanced profit margins when selling them at a price point well below current market choices.

“And,” continued Levy, “We unveiled an extensive lava stone program. This is the result of many months of R&D to ultimately bring to the specification community, something new, exciting… and, very unique.” Levy went on to say that a number of Arley lines, which for years still have strong appeal, are being replaced and thus, will be offered at “tremendous values.”

“We also have a number of new vendors with whom we’re excited to be partnering with. One is sundry manufacturer Profilitec, which now provides us with profiles for all types of flooring installation. Another is SunTouch Heating Systems, an advanced and affordable product line that provides soothing, radiant heat under any type of tile or stone flooring and even driveways! Arley is also offering a complete line of shower systems, which deliver a multitude of options so that our customers’ customers can actually design the bathroom of their dreams,” beamed Levy.

Arley is also known for their constant investment in technology to help their customers sell more product. “The Arley App has been an amazing sales tool for our customers, but since it is available only to iPad users, we’re now offering ‘Click-on Tile,’ a program which anybody can use on any electronic device,” Levy continued. “Via this program, when on-screen, users will instantly see how our products appear when installed in their very own rooms.

“We’ve even expanded our entire stone program,” concluded Levy. “And, much, much more. Last year’s event was cited as being our best ever. We wanted 2017’s experience to exceed that. We thoroughly believe it did! At our Tile & Stone Exposition, we invited both customers and prospects to see for themselves.”
