The Refinishing Touch, a world leader in on-site environmentally safe and sustainable furniture refinishing, re-upholstering and armoire modification for private and public organizations, has extended its operations with a new division in Canada.
Headquartered in Toronto, The Refinishing Touch Canada is the company’s first international company and administrative division. It will support the company’s refinishing, upholstery, and remanufacturing crews located in Canada. The office staff will report directly to The Refinishing Touch headquarters in Alpharetta, Georgia.
The new division will service The Refinishing Touch’s new hotel and hospitality clients across Canada. Mario Insenga, founder and president to The Refinishing Touch explained: “Canada has a robust hospitality industry, with an estimated 270,000 rooms across 10,000 hotels. Its expansive hospitality industry is also one of the most sustainable and environmentally friendly, making Canada a natural market progression for The Refinishing Touch’s international expansion.”
The Refinishing Touch Canada will begin operations immediately, having already secured refinishing contracts with several of the country’s hotels.
The Refinishing Touch holds 35 years’ experience in the hospitality, government and higher education industries in the United States. It will mirror this success in its go-to-market entry to Canada’s sustainability and refinishing sector, initially through the development of its dedicated hospitality division, then expand into the high education market.
“This is a very exciting time for The Refinishing Touch as we expand our hospitality operations into Canada. With Canada’s expansive and growing tourism market, the quantity of the country’s hotels offers an exceptional opportunity to expand our business and further spread of message about the importance of budget-saving, environmental-friendly tactics of refinishing, reupholstery, remanufacturing, and armoire modification.”
