Unde market pressure in 2018 OGT has terminated their exclusive partnership with their showrooms and will now sell directly to architects, designers and large commercial entities. Following the playbook of such decision they have removed the list of their exclusive showrooms on their web site and have severly curtail the program and package of their new dealers to make materials available directly to the trade. Old dealers stuck with 200 boards are told to take in on the chin, move on and above all keep paying their exclusive dealership/partnership maintenance annual fee. My sales rep could not stop laughing at all the material I was forced to accumulate over 5 years under such partnership program while most National showrooms were never obligated to participate, showing only a few concept boards and swatch cards, private label displays or not.
