Dear AdV customers:

In July 2011 Linea Marketing had to close its doors and the AdV product line was discontinued. We are pleased to announce that The Pine Centre has recently acquired the rights to the Accents de Ville and AdV trade names and will be rebuilding this line over the coming months.

For over 25 years, The Pine Centre has been a leading supplier of floral, display and seasonal decorations to Canadian home and giftware industry. As such, we are very familiar with AdV and the independent market that it served well for many years. To rebuild AdV, we are also pleased to announce that we have engaged the company’s founding CEO, Jim Mathewson as well as product buyer, Jessica Mathewson.

Our goal is to reestablish AdV as a leading supplier of home décor and giftware at competitive prices. As before, our new product collections will be introduced twice a year, based on the latest product and color trends. The product mix will favour traditional materials and “style with a human touch”.

In the coming months we will be busy finalizing the latest collection as well as the re-launching the AdV website. While the site is under construction, we will continue to post information on any new developments for AdV at www.adv-imports.com . You can also shop right now for AdV products at www.pinecentre.ca , along with the extensive Pine Centre product line.

If you have any questions, comments, or product suggestions regarding AdV, please feel free to contact Jim Mathewson at jwm@thepinecollections.com.

Sincerely,

The Pine Centre

Jean-Pierre Fournier
President
