Julie and I both found ourselves increasingly dissatisfied with the monotony of our previous careers. After venturing into Venetian plaster and after a particularly frustrating experience purchasing Venetian plaster products, I identified a clear gap in the market—one we were confident we could fill. Since then, we’ve grown year after year and are now proud to be distributors for different brands from Italy and Spain, as well as the well known brands Mirka and Q1 tapes
