By combining our expertise, resources, and talent, we are creating an even stronger and more dynamic entity that will set new standards in our industry,” said Lindsay Tillie, CEO of Artisan Custom Closets. “The merger will not affect the day-to-day operations of any of the companies, and all will continue to operate as usual during the transition period. Customers of all three businesses will receive the same level of service and attention to detail that they have come to expect.”
“The decision to merge is the result of careful consideration, strategic planning, and countless discussions between the leadership teams of both companies. We firmly believe that this merger will not only benefit our employees but also our valued customers. It also presents us with incredible opportunities for growth, innovation, and enhanced customer experiences,” stated Matt Prewett, former VP of Sales and Marketing for Spacemakers and Carolina Closets, now Chief Growth Officer of the combined entity. “This merger is a testament to the remarkable dedication and hard work of our employees. Without their unwavering commitment to excellence, none of this would be possible. We are excited to embark on this journey together, as we shape the future of our industry and make a lasting impact.”
