The board of governors of Coverings recently announced the appointment of National Trade Productions (NTP) as the new management company for Coverings, its annual trade show. The board's five sponsoring associations -- Spain's Ceramic Tile Manufacturers Association, the Association of Italian Ceramic Tile and Refractories Manufacturers, the Ceramic Tile Distributors Association, the National Tile Contractors Association and the Tile Council of America -- unanimously selected NTP after a long and diligent search to identify the candidate most qualified to take Coverings to the next level. Under the new management, the board envisions a higher profile Coverings that will continue to position the ceramic tile and natural stone industry as a premier sector of the U.S. floor and wall coverings industries.
