The Brianne pedestals are listed in the 2016 list price catalog under the “Discontinued” Section of the catalog.
After feedback from customers it has been decided to keep them active and they will not be discontinued. Obviously the list price catalogs have them listed as discontinued but they will remain available. Gerber has everything in stock except for the 12-535 lavatory top but they do have them in production and will have inventory in the next four to five weeks.
Dear Valued Partners,
We are writing you to inform you of an update to our freight program, which can be found in the front of your 2014-2015 price list. Effective immediately, all Class 4 shipments shipping to zip codes beginning with 100-103 and 118-119 will now carry a standard charge of $210.00. Again, this only affects LTL freight shipping to zip codes beginning with 100-103 and 118-119 (These are the NYC boroughs of Manhattan and Long Island). Over the past few years, all major LTL carriers have begun charging fees to ship these zip codes, which they refer to as High Cost Service Areas, and the average fee across the carriers is $60.00. Please feel free to contact our Customer Service Department at 888-522-2823 should you have any questions regarding this change.
Sincerely,
LACAVA LLC

Elkay Manufacturing Company Partners with Schock GmbH
to Expand Granite Sink Offering
Oak Brook, IL (April 4, 2016) – Elkay is pleased to announce a collaborative partnership with world-leading granite sink manufacturer, Schock GmbH of Germany. The partnership is focused on expanding Elkay’s granite product line, enabling the company to introduce bold new colors and styles to the American design community. Through the agreement, Elkay will obtain exclusive distribution rights for Schock granite sink products in the U.S. marketplace that will be marketed as part of Elkay’s own granite product.
In the short term, the partnership is expected to result in the addition of 5 new colors being added to Elkay’s current portfolio of products plus 10 additional new models and configurations available in this expanded color palette as early as later this month. Later this year Elkay’s portfolio will be further expanded.
“We are excited about what we can achieve by collaborating with an industry leader such as Schock to expand our granite offering,” stated Ted Hamilton, Executive Vice President, Marketing and Business Development, Elkay. “No other manufacturer in the world has the passion for innovation and design that Schock has. They keep their fingers on the pulse of worldwide color trends, style and aesthetics, and continuously raise the bar when it comes to enhancing their products. Together we can develop a color palette and style portfolio for the granite sinks that will be unrivaled.”
According to Schock representative, Ralf Boberg, Chief Executive Officer, Schock GmbH, the partnership will be mutually beneficial. “Elkay is the leading manufacturer of stainless steel sinks, with a reputation for quality and reliability that is unequalled, the world over. Their extensive US distribution channels are strong, and through this partnership we believe we can achieve the market penetration needed to keep pace with the market’s demand for granite sink products, which is growing at a rate that far exceeds any other sink category on the market today.” At the current growth rate, granite is predicted to replace cast iron as the number two sink material, behind stainless steel.
Elkay’s granite product lines are available through multiple sales channels. The new colors that are expected to be introduced to Elkay’s granite line later this month include Greige, Greystone, Sand, Putty and Pecan.
