the Gold Award and the Best of K/BIS award for the bath category in a
competition with so many other great products and companies from around
the World,” said Josef Erlebach, president and co-founder of Quick

sure how the industry would respond, but we did feel that we had a special
product that could make a positive impact in the industry. We’re
happy that the judging panel agrees. We have to thank K/BIS and the NKBA
for putting on a truly professional exhibition. We met a ton of great
people in the industry to help us build our business, and have no doubts
