BINH DUONG, Vietnam – As part of a bid to expand its global footprint, Parker House has added a new office and showroom in Vietnam. The space was previously owned and used by the now out-of-business Klaussner Home Furnishings.
The four-story building will serve as a home base for Parker House’s international staff, who provide quality control, product development and administrative services.
“This is a really exciting time for Parker House,” said Doug Townsend, chief operating officer. “Our unprecedented growth over the past few years has created a need to expand our company’s infrastructure to support our Eastvale operations, and this opportunity presented itself at just the right time.
“Having an additional fully staffed campus in Vietnam will help to alleviate the workload of some of our domestic departments, and it will provide us with a central location in Asia where our product development team can meet and collaborate with our vendors and various stakeholders,” he continued. “Moving into Klaussner’s former office and showroom affords us a turnkey solution that is ready on day one.”
The 7,000-square-foot space joins a growing portfolio of Parker House properties, which includes an expansive 300,000-square-foot warehouse and corporate office building in Eastvale, Calif.; a 37,000-square-foot freestanding showroom in High Point; and a 27,000-square-foot showroom at World Market Center in Las Vegas.
“As our company continues to grow and develop, so do our opportunities,” said Chris Lupo, CEO. “We have been heavily investing in our infrastructure, evolving quickly to keep up with our increase in demand; this new office and showroom was the next logical step for us. We feel well-equipped to continue to meet and exceed the expectations of our customers, providing the excellent product and service that Parker House has come to be known for.”
Parker House bills itself as a whole home furniture resource, offering case goods and upholstery for the living, dining, home office, bedroom and entertainment categories. It will exhibit at High Point Market this week at its showroom at 309 S. Elm.
