Casual-furniture manufacturer Cabana Coast (Mississauga, Ontario) has increased its presence in the United States by hiring sales representatives who previously worked for Lane Venture. Newly assigned staff include Linda and Dana Fitts (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska); Dennis Dobbratz and Brian Bywaters (Florida); Lori and Jim Cooke (Illinois and Missouri); John O’Hare (New England states); Jim Hamlin (Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi); and Rick Dale (Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Alaska). Other representatives assigned include Tim Crowley (New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and New York); Jon Scheaf (Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia); and Dave Hill (North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia).

Cabana Coast’s commercial division is also expanding rapidly throughout the United States and internationally, with specifications now approved by many hotel chains, resorts, casinos, and restaurant chains. Now celebrating its 15th year in business, Cabana Coast manufactures high-quality outdoor resin and aluminum furniture featuring Sunbrella®fabrics. Cabana Coast has its own sewing facility in Mississauga, where quality is controlled closely and shipping times of two to three weeks are guaranteed.

Three years ago, Cabana Coast (then called ActiWin) made the decision to expand into the U.S. retail market and hired Chad Harper as director of sales in the United States. Harper’s background consists not just of expanding companies in the retail sector, but also of running contract/commercial companies nationally. Cabana Coast has hired some of the most professional sales representatives for its retail and commercial divisions and has been expanding rapidly in both divisions.
