Plainview, New York – Kassoy LLC, a provider of tools and supplies for the jewelry trade, has announced plans to re-engineer its operations.

The company has consolidated to function exclusively from its headquarters on Long Island and online at Kassoy.com, according to a press release.

The company said the change is designed “drive long-term growth in the jewelry industry.”

The initiative comes on the heels of the resignation of former President Joanne Slawitsky in August and the closure of Kassoy’s New York City retail location. Kassoy owner Hans E.R. Bosch is leading the refocus of company resources as interim president.

“Kassoy has been an industry name for almost 80 years,” Bosch said. “In 2017, we will launch a refined catalog which will take us back to our roots; offering a carefully-chosen selection of quality products and services that our customers can count on as well as a showroom on-site in Plainview for local customers to visit.”

Closing With Confidence: How Bailey's Fine Jewelry Achieved Outstanding Results With Wilkerson

When Trey Bailey, President and CEO of Bailey's Fine Jewelry, decided to close the Crabtree location in Raleigh, North Carolina after 15 years, he knew the decision needed to be handled with intention and professionalism. The goal was clear: exit the location while maintaining financial strength and honoring the store's legacy. Having worked with Wilkerson successfully in the past, Bailey understood the value of their comprehensive approach. "They understood both the emotional and financial sides of the store closing sale," Trey explains. "Their reputation for professionalism, results and care made it a very easy decision." The results exceeded expectations. Wilkerson helped Bailey's sell through significant inventory while maintaining the dignity of the closing process. "They don't just run a sale, they help close a chapter in the best way possible," Bailey says, strongly recommending Wilkerson to any jeweler facing a similar transition.
