MAPEI represents the type of top-quality brand that we are proud to include in our product line-up.”

Best Tile personnel attended the MAPEI Technical Institute (MTI) in Deerfield Beach to gain added insight into the products and the latest methods for installing tile and stone. MAPEI is also providing training in its new MTI branch at the South River, N.J. MAPEI manufacturing facility.untitled

MAPEI and Best Tile will also hold events throughout the summer to introduce and promote MAPEI’s installation products to contractors.

“We have worked with different members of the Best Tile organization, and now we are very pleased to have the entire group carrying MAPEI mortars and grouts in all 31 locations,” said Steve Cameron, MAPEI sales director for the northern United States. “Through a mutual effort, we have identified the needs of our market and are prepared to support contractors with a superior distribution network, customer service and technical support.

“We manufacture a heavy product that needs to be warehoused and distributed locally on demand,” Cameron added, “and Best Tile has a superior reputation for reliability and customer service in this region.”
