"As seasoned show producers with a specialty focus in quality, American made products, we've admired the extraordinary artistry at PIFS," said Vitas Normantas, Green Tree managing partner. "Josh Markel and his team have worked for years to handpick the finest handmade furniture and furnishings in the country."
Josh Markel, founder and director of PIFS said, "Having shown the work of some of the finest furniture and furnishings artisans for 20 years, I was eager to find the right organization to manage the PIFS into the future, maintaining the same high level of work and service to both the exhibitor and consumer coming to the show. I am convinced that Green Tree Events can not only do this but bring a greater depth of organizational capacity in marketing and service than has been possible with our small team."
"We grew up around wood manufacturing and now, as event managers, could not be more eager to expand the audience for PIFS and continue to build on its strong tradition," said Stefa Normantas, Green Tree managing partner. "Our company is known for its commitment to products made in the USA and strong collaborative work with our exhibitors and clients. PIFS is a perfect complement to our New England Made shows."
