Sto Corp., a manufacturer of cladding, air barrier, coating, and restoration systems, has partnered with a new distributor in the Carolinas. Guaranteed Supply Company, led by Pete Lovell, EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System) and stucco product manager, is the new distributor for Sto Corp.
“We are thrilled to have Guaranteed Supply Company as our new distributor for the Carolinas,” said Sto Sales Rep, Calvin Holloway. “With Guaranteed we will have coverage in several parts of North Carolina where we haven’t been before, from the mountains to the coast.”
Holloway is especially excited with Lovell leading the charge. Lovell has sold EIFS and stucco products for 30 years, with several different companies before joining Guaranteed to head up this endeavor. Lovell now has six representatives selling Sto’s EIFS and stucco systems exclusively, and Sto is sold at all 11 branches in North Carolina and South Carolina, as well as at the location in Norfolk, Va. +
