Robert Thomas LP hires Rich Romano as national sales director

Robert Thomas LP introduces the latest addition to its sales force, Rich Romano, as national sales director. Romano has been in the floor care industry since the age of 17. Not afraid to get his hands dirty, he began by servicing vacuum cleaners in an after school work program. This led to a 20-year career in sales and service for independently-owned vacuum dealer stores. In 2000, Romano was recruited by an international vacuum manufacturing company to do outside sales. Starting as a territory sales manager he quickly became a regional sales manager and later took a position as national sales manager. Romano is delighted to now be heading up the ROTHO Sales Team for Robert Thomas LP.

In his words, “There is energy and excitement surrounding the launch of a new product that is unlike any other. And the unique qualities of the ROTHO® TWIN TT offer an additional allure. This is what the floor care industry has needed. The TWIN TT fits that niche by diversifying the dealers’ product line. This product, one machine that does it all, will be a strong and valuable component for the future of independently-owned vacuum dealers.”

And as Romano points out, in the current trend, flooring is one of the most expensive investments in a home. Now, more than ever, people are concerned about health, cleanliness and maintaining the value of their flooring surfaces.

“There’s simply nothing else on the market, of this quality, that is prepared to handle every surface,” said Romano.

Robert Thomas LP, the German manufacturer of the ROTHO® TWIN TT, is a market leader. Founded in 1900, Robert Thomas built its foundation in the metal industry. For over 35 years Robert Thomas has been a successful manufacturer in the floor care industry and has been known for its high degree of integrity and quality in manufacturing innovative, environmentally-friendly products.
