When Waterstone was looking to expand into Mexico, it teamed up with one of the country biggest appliance distributors. Gomez and Hilman in San José del Cabo, BC provides a wide range of residential appliances, industrial kitchen equipment for restaurants and hotels to the Cabo area. Their high-end products include Sub Zero, Wolf and Viking. When Director of International Sales, Darcy Kuran, reached out to Gomez and Hilman, it was an immediate fit. Gomez and Hilman just happen to be looking into expansion into plumbing and Waterstone’s luxury kitchen faucets were an easy choice. This then lead to Randy Misher, Alejandro Gomez Lozano and Geovanni Alvarez coming up to California to see the factory and the manufacturing process. After this initial meeting, it was time to bring Waterstone south of the border. Waterstone President, Chris Kuran and Darcy flew into San Jose and headed straight for the Gomez and Hilman showroom for training. Darcy, who speaks fluent Spanish, trained employees about the features of Waterstone and how we stand out from the rest.
After training, it was time to be a tourist. That first night, the Kurans were invited to have a wonderful dinner with the G&H manager and their four children. The next day is was on the Cabo San Lucas for a boat tour, shopping and some margaritas.
Throughout Baja California and the rest of Mexico, Gomez and Hilman are well known for offering an extensive variety of high end kitchen products. We look forward to working with such amazing partners for many years to come.
