Omniwill hold its Vendor Invitational July 25-27, 2016.

Lasco Fittings executive Ben Freeman, who officially started in April as the group’s director of sales and marketing, will eventually succeed Bob Hoff.

The Omni and Luxury Products Group buying groups had good news to report at their recent spring meetings held at the Loews Royal Pacific Resort in Orlando, Fla. Omni President Bob Hoff told the more than 1,000 attendees that group sales were up 10% over 2012 levels and total sales to vendor partners had again moved over the much-sought-after $1 billion barrier.

Business is starting to heat up in 2014.
