We’ll help them train and educate their clients on the product. We’re with our client partners one hundred percent of the way and the new headquarters is just the beginning of that commitment.” Modomo is a U.S. based trading company, run by industry veterans with over 100 years of collective experience, providing the finest Italian tile to the North American market.
