Durasol dealers go to Venice! top >
April 2009 - We are thrilled to report that the 1st of our "Dealer to Venice" excursions was a huge success. The trip was both a reward for those Durasol dealers who achieved the highest sales in their territories in 2008, and an educational visit to Durasol's new parent organization, BAT S.p.A. of Venice, Italy. During their stay, the group toured BAT's two locations and saw their facilities first hand, which have been carefully designed to offer the most efficient production of awning systems in the European market. BAT is an industry leader in design, testing, and technical innovations for the world of awnings as we know it today. In addition, dealers were shown some of the exciting new products to be featured in 2010. Durasol will be planning additional trips in the upcoming years for our emerging dealer leaders.
