“We’re very pleased to add SA Bedding, headed by CEO and Director Ashok Sharma, to our international licensing organization,” said Kevin Toman, Englander president and CEO. “Mr. Sharma is a respected bedding professional from the Middle East and India, and we look forward to his company’s success in establishing the Englander brand in one of the most progressive countries in Southeast Asia.”
With the addition of SA Bedding Company, Englander, Olive Branch, Miss., now licenses nine producers operating a total of 14 mattress factories overseas.
The company markets a number of specialty brands including Nature’s Finest Latex Sleep Systems, ViscoPedic memory foam beds, Synergy, a line that combines advanced visco foam with natural latex, and the Egel series.
