The KBIS Show is sponsored by the National Kitchen & Bath Association and Kitchen and Bath Business Magazine. This annual event, the world's largest kitchen and bath trade show, is open only to companies and individuals in this industry.

In 1999, the Show drew over 37,000 dealers, distributors, designers, wholesalers, retailers, builders and architects. Some 40,000 people are expected to attend, making it the largest Kitchen & Bath Show ever.

"We are excited to attend this year's Show," stated Culley Davis, chairman and chief executive officer of HydroMaid. "With this being the largest trade show of its kind and having received the prestigious First Place Overall Winner Award as Kitchen and Bath's 'Innovative Product of the Year' by the very sponsors of this Show, we feel that the Show will be a great success for HydroMaid.

"The wonderful press coverage we receive is a direct result of the excitement HydroMaid generates by representing a better solution in an industry that has been stagnant for years," continued Davis. "We feel that the domestic and international growth potential for HydroMaid is enormous and look forward to meeting with representatives that can be influential in spreading the good word about HydroMaid."

The KBIS Show will feature 650 kitchen and bath product manufacturers and cover 360,000 square feet with 3,600 exhibit booths. Other exhibitors include manufacturers of cabinets, bath accessories, appliances, showers, tubs, tile, flooring, lighting, kitchen accessories and appliances, countertops, decorative hardware, sinks, toilets, whirlpools and other kitchen and bath products.
