Basco’s Installation Class is entering Round 2!

Basco Fun Facts – Do you know what Basco stands for? 
Of course, Basco represents high-quality, precision-fit, luxury shower enclosures, but what does the name stand for? 
When the company was founded in 1955, we took the first letters of our core offerings – Bathroom Accessory and Supply Company – and voilà, Basco was born! 
Fast forward to today, and we’re still proudly living up to our name as a manufacturer and supplier of excellent bathroom accessories and glass enclosures!
Basco News – Installation Class is entering Round 2!
Our recent Basco Expert Installation Training Class was a full success. In a two-day course, our Installation Experts trained a group of attendees in theoretical and practical knowledge. In our hands-on workshop, trainees were able to learn how to handle and install Basco enclosures from start to finish to become official Basco Network Installers
If you or someone from your team is interested in participating in our next training class, please contact our Director of Installation for details!

Employee Spotlight – Thank you for your service, Jennifer!
We want to give a special shoutout to Jennifer Giguere, who celebrated her 34th Basco anniversary last week. But we are not only thanking Jennifer for her service to Basco but also her service in the United States Navy. She is an integral part of our Builder Sales Team and has helped the business thrive over the years with her commitment and dedication to excellence.

We are honored to share that Jennifer participated in a Silent Watch for the Butler Country Veterans Service Commission in honor of veterans who have died by suicide. While the occasion is heartbreaking, it is always wonderful to see how employees not only contribute to Basco but give back to the community outside of our organization. Thank you for your service and for raising awareness for such an important subject, Jennifer!

California Faucets – REDUCED LEAD TIMES

Good morning,

More fantastic news we are pulling in more lead times.  This is beyond amazing, beyond exciting, this is unparalleled.

 Follow the chart below, we are reducing the lead time on over a dozen of our finishes, effective immediately.  

Here are some highlights:

  • 13 finishes estimate to ship in 1-2 weeks.
  • 16 finishes estimate to ship in 4 weeks or less.
  • 6 finishes estimate to ship in 6-8 weeks.
  • 5 finishes estimate to ship in 8-10 weeks.

With these improved lead times, many of our custom made to order by artisan hands products are shipping as quickly and in cases, even faster than those that are massed produced in limited finishes.

GRID ERROR IN BOOK

Just wanted to give a heads up that it has come to our attention that on page 145 of the Blanco price book the grid #236782 is actually the Precis “small” grid and the item #236783 is the “large” grid for the Precis sink.  Please mark your books accordingly.  Blanco is aware and next years price book will be corrected.
