CHICAGO (April 10, 2008) – Recognized for the production of leading decorative kitchen hardware that inspires, coordinates and helps express personal style, Amerock is expanding its rich legacy into the bathroom with the introduction of a comprehensive bath hardware line at Kitchen/Bath Industry Show and Conference (K/BIS) in Chicago. Amerock will be showcasing new bath hardware collections, Arrondi™, Markham™, Clarendon™, Saybrook™ and Saybrook Classic™, and new lines of premium kitchen hardware at booth S4028 at McCormick Place.

“Amerock has created cabinet hardware based on popular consumer design trends for more than 75 years and is extending this expertise into the bathroom with unique options that tie-in to the rest of the home,” said Cindy Obiecunas, Amerock product manager. “We are constantly designing hardware inspired by industry trends, which applies to the finishes we incorporate as well. For instance, we are introducing a new finish this year, Polished Nickel, to complement many popular fixtures currently used in bathroom design today.”
