“At SpecCeramics, we have a sign posted near our entryway stating:

- We Are What We Repeatedly Do
Excellence, Therefore, Is Not an Act but a Habit”

We believe in that. We believe in providing excellent service to our clients, support to our suppliers, our community…and, ourselves.

This is an amazing time in our industry, even though we hear what all those economic pundits are saying about today's economy, new technologies are being developed to create larger, stronger and more beautiful tiles at this very moment.

Porcelain tile products in the flooring and cladding sectors have increased their market share sharply over the past 5 years. Design professionals are specifying more porcelain tile! All of that simply means that during these exciting times, we at SpecCeramics must work harder, be even more professional and continue in our quest to be the best source of tile and stone surfacing materials for commercial projects.

Striving for excellence has worked for our firm. In 2008, we posted record gains in sales. We opened a new showroom/library in Santa Monica. Currently, our new  corporate offices in Fullerton, California will open for business on Monday, January 19th, 2009. Quite frankly, there's a lot going on at SpecCeramics.

My point in all of this is that immodestly, we have a winning team. We represent incredibly progressive, vibrant and responsive factories. Our clientele both long-term and new, include some of the most visionary, talented architects and designers in the world. And without question, we are blessed by having the best staff possible, right here at our company. The bottom line? Excellence is a habit. We stay focused, continue being positive and in doing so, we attract the right people. That's why we continue to grow in every way.

Please be in contact. I'd like to hear your comments.

Thanks and best regards,

Dave Leal
President SpecCeramics
