Like Western, ABSi has lofty ambitions and believes they “exist to be the premier retailer of windows and doors for the discerning custom homebuilder, homeowner and architect.” Their focus on being great, coupled with a “Fairness Doctrine,” forms the foundation of their business and operating procedures that make ABSi a great dealer-partner for Western. “The top leaders of ABSi, Chris Cole and Scott Thurber, are two of the greatest guys you could ever be around,"says Western vice president Scott Leech. "A lot of their success has to do with the fact these are just great guys that are fair, do what they say and are committed to trying to be the best at what they do. Their rapid climb to become the highest volume dealer in California for Western has everything to do with their great leadership.” While great leadership is the foundation, ABSi also has seven beautiful showrooms, a talented and knowledgeable sales force, diversified products and financial stability. “As the Northern California sales rep for Western, I can’t tell you how much it has meant to me to have a great partner like ABSi. Their salespeople have committed themselves to becoming true product experts, and their focus on reaching and connecting to important architects in the area has been outstanding," adds Western dealer representative Jeff Jensen. "Plus, when you have a showroom that displays the Western product as beautifully as their new facility in Burlingame does, their team is equipped to make a great impression on any potential customer.”
