Facility consolidates product from Asian factories

DONGGUAN, China — Hamilton Spill opened a 35,000 square foot showroom here last week, its first showroom space in Asia.

The Canada-based importer’s showroom feature products from all its categories: upholstery, leather, bedroom, dining and occasional tables, from factories throughout Asia.


“We are extremely excited to increase our physical presence in South China,” said Rick Verjee, chairman. “With a majority of our vendors in the area, we can consolidate products for viewing from all over the region and display them in a way that reproduces the feel of the North American home setting. Instead of traveling to multiple factories to view items, our customers can visit our showroom with one-stop convenience and experience the entirety of our product line.”

The company said the move underscores Hamilton Spill’s commitment to innovation in emerging markets. Verjee and Louis Tremblay, the company’s new vice president of operations, will tour the first customers through the space this week.
