   With more than 20 years of expertise throughout Asia, Weston sets up the marketing and distribution for small and mid sized manufacturers in Asia and the Middle East. Products are specified by architects and interior designers for use in high end corporations, hotels, restaurants, retail stores, spas, higher education, hospitals and residences. For companies who need to expand into those markets and our customers who are not sure how to procure these products locally, we offer a unique service based on years of local expertise, an expansive distribution network and the ability to bridge cultural differences. Our products represent high value - superior quality and timeless designs delivered with local support and service. We understand and develop brand - our suppliers\' brands as well as our clients\' brands. We do not use a one size fits all approach but a custom solution that fits the select criteria for each project, each client, each brand. Your brand is unique - our support should be unique to you as well.
