Arteriors Contract is taking its hospitality initiatives to the next level in 2015, working on a host of new

developing our custom capabilities to better execute what designers imagine," explains Jim Bindman,
Arteriors' vice president of contract sales. "The brand is continually growing."
This focus on hospitality is what makes Arteriors' relationship with NEWH so valuable. "NEWH and its members are completely focused on hospitality
and are important decision makers within the industry, making networking within the organization simple and effective," Bindman says. "We are
looking forward to showcasing our hospitality capabilities at several NEWH shows this year."

Conneaut Leather's biggest recent announcement is its acquisition of Cortina Leathers. "Bringing together these two
great companies offers our customers a 'best of both worlds' leather solution, with Conneaut Leather being an 111-yearold American company and Cortina sourcing the finest Italian hides available," says Jimmy DiLella, director of business
development. "We are looking forward to educating our customers about what makes the Conneaut and Cortina Leathers
partnership unique from any other leather company in the industry."
Now in its third year as a partner of NEWH, the company realizes that it is imperative to support the future of the industry.
"We truly enjoy seeing the growth and development of the scholarship recipients," DiLella says. "NEWH also provides a
wonderful platform for our company and reps to network and build relationships throughout the various chapters."

Electric Mirror recently completed the Delano Hotel renovation in Las Vegas as well as major projects all over the world. It

president Jon Johnston. "Trust is the most important part of relationships in this industry. At this stage in an upward cycle,
our customers' trust sets us apart."
As an industry leader, the company's association with NEWH is vital to its continued success. "We must partner with
NEWH, which is the association associated with hospitality-no question," Johnston says. "From networking with industry
leaders to new professionals and students, there is no better way to stay engaged and relevant."

Masland Contract has recently launched four new products for hospitality-Venetian, Kathmandu, Swing, and Cha Cha.
These come along with the company's biggest news from 2014 with its purchase of CYP capabilities as part of its expanded
product portfolio. "This combination provides complete coverage of all aspects of hospitality interiors-from public spaces to
guestrooms," says Lee Martin, president of Masland Contract.
Looking ahead, the company is investigating using more recycled products, both in yarn systems and finished products,
and is responding to the speed to market challenge by assessing its organizational processes to better serve its customer
base.
The company's partnership with NEWH also helps it to stay on top of the industry. "NEWH has a real pulse on the
hospitality market segment, keeping Masland current with emerging trends," Martin says.
