Dear Valued Swan Customer,

The Swan Corporation has been a manufacturer of low cost utility tubs and nail-up bathtub wall surrounds for many years and has taken pride in its ability to provide you not only with these lower cost products but also a diverse selection of Swanstone and Swan Veritek products. However, due to the highly competitive nature of these “commodity” products and our desire to put more resources behind products that we believe add more value to our offering, we have made a strategic decision to exit the utility tub and nail-up bath alcove business. We will be discontinuing the following products effective immediately:

• Bath Alcove (BA-3060) products will be discontinued effective immediately. Shower Alcoves will continue to be available:
  • Effective immediately, we will no longer be accepting orders for BA3060 Bath Alcove products.
  • All existing backorders for BA3060 alcoves will be filled unless customer chooses to cancel these products off of existing orders. To cancel please send written product cancellation request to swanezpo@swanstone.com or fax to 1-800-342-7926 referencing purchase order number.

• The following utility sink and shower cabinet products will be discontinued immediately, and we will no longer be accepting orders for these products. (Click here to view the list of all discontinued products by model and part number).
  • LAUNDRY TUBS/LEGS/WALL MOUNT BRACKETS
  • LAUNDRY TUB ACCESSORIES
  • MOP SERVICE SINKS
  • MOP SERVICE SINK ACCESSORIES
  • SHOWER CABINETS
  • SHOWER CABINET ACCESSORIES

•  All existing backorders for products referenced above will be filled unless customer chooses to cancel these products off of existing orders. To cancel please send written product cancellation request to swanezpo@swanstone.com or fax to 1-800-342-7926 referencing purchase order number.

We understand that the discontinuation of the products above may create some short term challenges for you and we will work closely with you and our local Swan representatives to assist you in any way that we can. Please contact your local Swan representative or Swan Customer Service if you have any questions. Thank you for your continued support of The Swan Corporation.

Sincerely,

Gerard Kuester
