Miami-based hospitality furniture suppliers Blue Leaf Hospitality and Coast to Coast Designs are partnering to form BLUECOAST. With 75 percent of Blue Leaf’s sales coming from seating and upholstery and 75 percent of Coast to Coast’s offerings in casegoods production, the new firm will double its global network of vendors and sales force.
Owners Stan Shockley and Doug Olson have outlined future growth plans, including new product lines to be unveiled to the marketplace in 2013, an expanding sales force in South America and Asia, increased domestic production, and renovated corporate headquarters.
