Better Margins by Design for PECO
PORTLAND, Ore.
September 29, 2006
PECO was looking to revive their home thermostat products and move out of the cutthroat competition with lower end imported brands. Fiori designers developed a fresh design that gave their product a more upscale look and has allowed them to compete at the higher end of the product spectrum with better margins and a better presence in the major retailers.
