Harbor is the leading "Green" manufacturer in the industry after having launched their Orchid Collection.  Offering several terry lines in single ply double loop yarns that dry 15% faster and even Cotton/Bamboo that dry 30% faster than traditional 2 ply terry. The manufacturing process of these Bamboo towels is such that the towels are naturally anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti- static making it a great option for hotel owners. The Orchid Collection is unique due to the blending of cotton and bamboo fibers to spin a yarn that has the inherent positive benefits of both fibers. The construction utilizes stronger ‘doubles yarns’ to maintain its integrity after repeated launderings. The eco-friendly manufacturing process of the Orchid Collection utilizes no harsh bleaching or optical brighteners from the fiber state through the finished product, which adds to its incredible softness and gives the towels a more natural finish. The end result is the world’s softest, most absorbent luxury towel, designed to withstand institutional processing.  Additional terry ensemble’s offer all ring spun cotton double loop fill yarns that provide more air flow during laundry drying yielding savings of 15% in time and expense.

Hotels typically spend more than 80 percent of their revenue on employees, room replenishment, IT hardware, support, and office supplies. OpenBook is pleased to announce that its clients can now save time and money by participating in OpenBook Purchasing, a buying group focused on providing key products and services for lower cost.

“Very early on, we recognized that our clients were usually too small individually to negotiate advantageous prices and terms with national product and service providers,” said Zack Paul, OpenBook’s CEO. “Armed with the purchasing power of thousands of client hotel rooms, we’ve partnered with best-in-class vendors who will conveniently deliver high quality products and services at a discount.”

OpenBook Purchasing customers will have access to discounts that leverage more than $100 million of annual purchases. Through OpenBook Purchasing, customers conveniently obtain cost savings on their purchases and other value added services to improve both their operations and bottom line.

Paul emphasized the simplicity of OpenBook Purchasing. “We organized the products and services into an easy-to-navigate portal that displays each main expense category – employees, rooms, maintenance, office supplies, and key IT needs,” he said. “Instead of hunting through dozens of websites and vendors, we’ve identified vendors who specialize in serving small/medium sized independent hotels like our clients.”

As this is a fairly new service provided by OpenBook we would like to remind you to check back periodically for new preferred vendors and discounts as they may become available.
