KDI ELEMENTS EXPANDS TO HAWAII

Local company to open Pacific Branch Office in May

PALM DESERT, CA - KDI Elements, a full-service design, fabrication and installation company located in Palm Desert, CA is expanding its business to Hawaii. The company will be opening its Pacific Branch Office in Honolulu, Hawaii on May 1, 2008.

The KDI Elements Pacific Branch office will mirror the same high quality of products, services, and customer support that are currently offered in their local Desert Branch. They will feature a state-of-the-art Design Center showcasing their products and services staffed with professional design consultants. Services offered will include slab fabrication and installation, tile and stone materials and installation, wood and bamboo materials and installation and carpet material and installation. The company's focus is on projects in hotels, commercial environments and custom homes.

According to Suzanne Zens, KDI Elements Director of Sales, "KDI Elements has over 300 employees and $45 million in annual sales. The company is in its 18th year of business."

"KDI employees are excited about the prospects ahead for our company, not only in the Desert and Hawaii, but in other locations throughout the country as well" said Zens. "They embrace the growth of our two branches and look forward to a future of opportunities."

Annie Klein, President of KDI Elements says thoughts for expanding their company to Hawaii came after they handled the renovation of the Ritz Carlton Kapalua located in Maui, Hawaii during 2007.

"While we were there we realized we've created an unique niche with offering all aspects of interior and exterior products and applications. That distinctive quality separates us from other contractors in our trades," said Klein. "We saw the potential for us to enter a new marketplace with our proven quality and performance and grow our business."
