JAMESTOWN, N.Y., March 29, 2011 -- Bush Industries, Inc., a leading global manufacturer of reliable and affordable furnishing solutions for work and home, announced today it is expanding its nationwide sales force. Under the direction of Karl Eulberg, vice president of sales, the sales team expansion includes 10 additional independent sales representatives in six geographic regions from coast-to-coast and will support the company's re-entry in the retail furniture market.
"I'm truly excited to be building a strong sales team with such extensive experience and knowledge of the furniture industry," said Eulberg. "At Bush, we are dedicated to recruiting and training highly skilled professionals to represent our brands and introduce more of our products to the retail market. The 10 additional independent sales representatives are just the beginning of our stronger sales force."
Bringing more than 20 years of demonstrated sales management experience with global furniture manufacturers, Eulberg leads the sales effort for Bush's Home Furnishings channel, which includes the new kathy ireland Office® by Bush Furniture line.

"Since joining our company earlier this year, Karl has played a pivotal role in creating new multi-channel sales opportunities for Bush Industries," said Jim Sherbert, CEO of Bush Industries. "We're thrilled to be adding new team members to the Bush family and increasing our reach across the country. As we expand the kathy ireland Office line, our new sales team will be critical and a driving force in guaranteeing success."
