Keeco LLC, a supplier of Chinese-made hand-crafted quilts, window coverings, table lines and decorative pillows, recently appointed Kimberly Evans to the new post of merchandising manager for window products.

"With these new positions, we are reacting to customers' requests and what we see happening in the market," Jeff Jacobs, evp of sales and marketing, national and mass accounts, said. "There is a big opportunity in window and decorative products, so we are dedicating resources to fulfilling what we see a huge potential Keeco can fill."
