00:00:00,595 --> 00:00:03,762
(upbeat techno music)

2
00:00:14,649 --> 00:00:19,085
- [Allan] Our business is
very, very much people-related.

3
00:00:19,085 --> 00:00:21,529
People made by hand most all the furniture

4
00:00:21,529 --> 00:00:24,112
and the accessories that we do.

5
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,281
There are very few furniture companies

6
00:00:27,281 --> 00:00:29,881
that the company actually bears the name

7
00:00:29,881 --> 00:00:31,977
of somebody who's alive and well.

8
00:00:31,977 --> 00:00:34,193
- I'd like to introduce
you to Allan Palecek,

9
00:00:34,193 --> 00:00:37,614
my father, our founder
and Chairman of the Board.

10
00:00:37,614 --> 00:00:40,319
- Andrew is Chief of Product Development,

11
00:00:40,319 --> 00:00:42,561
Creative Designer, if you will.

12
00:00:42,561 --> 00:00:45,619
This is our facility over
here in Richmond, California.

13
00:00:45,619 --> 00:00:47,692
So, welcome to Palecek.

14
00:00:47,692 --> 00:00:51,325
(upbeat techno music)

15
00:00:51,325 --> 00:00:53,476
And it's very, very important to me

16
00:00:53,476 --> 00:00:55,012
that Andrew is carrying on

17
00:00:55,012 --> 00:00:58,262
that family tradition, the family name.

18
00:01:00,336 --> 00:01:02,855
- We take the quality
very, very seriously.

19
00:01:02,855 --> 00:01:05,536
When you're a designer and
you're designing a home,

20
00:01:05,536 --> 00:01:07,557
there is an incredible amount of pride

21
00:01:07,557 --> 00:01:10,224
and responsibility that happens.

22
00:01:12,851 --> 00:01:15,387
- This chair starts, actually,
as a plain wooden chair

23
00:01:15,387 --> 00:01:16,915
that you saw outside.

24
00:01:16,915 --> 00:01:18,027
It gets finished.

25
00:01:18,027 --> 00:01:20,571
See we've added the padded arms.

26
00:01:20,571 --> 00:01:22,571
The back stays the same.

27
00:01:27,852 --> 00:01:30,349
Really, you need growth
position, and with that,

28
00:01:30,349 --> 00:01:31,515
we're wanting to find a bank

29
00:01:31,515 --> 00:01:34,001
that could give us personal service.

30
00:01:34,001 --> 00:01:37,668
And that's what we found
with Bank of Marin.

31
00:01:40,536 --> 00:01:43,224
It started actually with a commercial loan

32
00:01:43,224 --> 00:01:45,891
and that worked very, very well.

33
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,920
More importantly, Bank
of Marin has helped us

34
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,336
with the day-to-day,
the day-to-day deposits,

35
00:01:54,336 --> 00:01:56,466
in some cases, with collection problems

36
00:01:56,466 --> 00:01:57,865
with different accounts,

37
00:01:57,865 --> 00:02:00,626
and Bank of Marin has
been there to help us.

38
00:02:00,626 --> 00:02:03,793
(upbeat techno music)

39
00:02:07,456 --> 00:02:09,656
- And we're able to take
a little bit of risk

40
00:02:09,656 --> 00:02:12,528
and to be flexible and
to do what we do best,

41
00:02:12,528 --> 00:02:14,361
and that is furniture.

42
00:02:15,684 --> 00:02:18,601
- So that's the tour in a nutshell.
