Jasper, Ind., and Raleigh, NC – May 8, 2007 – Creative Business Interiors, a long-respected office furniture dealer in Raleigh, NC, has formed a strategic partnership with industry leader Kimball Office as a Select Dealer. The alliance comes at a time when new, expanding and relocating companies have sparked a building boom in the Triangle office market.

"We couldn't be more excited about the addition of Creative Business Interiors as a Select Dealer," says Kimball Office Vice President David White. "In partnering with Creative we gain a team that, like Kimball Office, knows how to get things done. They have broad industry knowledge, strong client relationships and significant experience managing multi-vendor projects. Together, Kimball Office and Creative will bring even higher levels of creative expression, service and customer satisfaction to the Triangle."

The Creative-Kimball Office alliance strengthens the market position of both companies as they continue to support established and emerging companies in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area.

"Select Dealers represent the core of the Kimball Office brand in terms of culture, integrity, experience and professionalism," explains Bob Theodore, Director of Dealer Development, Kimball Office. "The Select dealer program is our way of recognizing and supporting exceptional dealers, and rewarding them for their entrepreneurial spirit and outstanding commitment to our shared customers."

Led by Dale Ramey, President, and D.C. Ramey, Vice President, Creative opened in 1999 with a 3,000 sq. ft. showroom, three employees and no customers. Since then, the start-up has grown into a full-service dealership with a 10,000 sq. ft. showroom, a team of experienced sales and service professionals, and customers throughout the region.

"We've always been impressed by the Kimball Office line of products, especially their systems furniture like Xsite and Interworks EQ, but the longer we worked with them, the more we realized how much we had in common culturally. Our values and philosophy are a perfect match," says D.C. Ramey. "We both define our businesses in terms of doing everything we can to help our customers succeed, and we both believe in giving our customers a standard of care and attention they won’t get anywhere else."

With their unique "blended solutions" approach, Creative has built a record of steady growth and solid performance. The dealership serves businesses of all magnitudes in the Triangle market with award-winning Kimball Office products and services that include space planning, specification, delivery and installation, inventory, warehousing, asset management and project management.
