Jacuzzi Brands Moves To Cut Costs For North American Bath Operations
Jacuzzi Brands announced several initiatives intended to reduce costs and improve profitability of its North American Bath Operations, particularly for its Eljer line of products.
The company said it plans to eliminate its North American sanitary bath wholesale sales force, to be replaced with independent manufacturers representatives to market its Eljer® brand products to the wholesale channel on a commission basis. Eljer had a wholesale sales staff of about 25 people, according to a company executive.
