by ARCHDALE, N.C. — Corinthian, Inc., a Corinth, Mississippi-based upholstery manufacturer and importer of motion furniture, is partnering with longtime furniture distributor Larry Huskey to form a new East Coast distribution center here. The joint venture, to be called Corinthian, N.C. Furniture Warehouse, is effective immediately.
Huskey is already distributing Corinthian product through his company, NC Furniture Warehouse. However, he will transition from being a full service distributor to carrying Corinthian import motion product exclusively.
“We see this as a tremendous opportunity to partner with one of the best in the business when it comes to logistics,” said Jason Etheridge, executive vice president of Corinthian. “Larry already has a significant base of retailers in North and South Carolina who are buying Corinthian product. We want to expand up and down the east coast and be a full-service distributor of our import motion.”
Sales and marketing for Corinthian East Coast will be handled by Lon Tripoli, Corinthian executive vice president, sales, and Heather Walden, who currently heads sales and marketing for NC Warehouse.
“We’re extremely excited at this opportunity to work with Corinthian, and look forward to providing our customers with the very best in import motion,” Walden said.
