Chattanooga, TN — Bob Vila has been a household name and an icon of home remodeling for over four decades.

This new line, Bob Vila Products, will be launched at the 2016 National Hardware Show in Las Vegas.

From the beginning of his TV career on This Old House to his present website, Vila’s mission has always been to help people upgrade their homes and improve their lives. He sees his website, BobVila.com, as a coach that takes people from inspiration to how-to instructions and finally links them to the products needed to turn their dreams into a reality.

Now, the natural progression for the Bob Vila brand is to introduce a line of tools and accessories specially designed and developed for the 3.9 million people who visit his site looking for how-to help and product recommendations.

To create this new line of products, Vila has partnered with Viatek Consumer Products, a Chattanooga-based company that specializes in designing unique products, developing those products at the highest level of quality, and distributing them to the consumers who need them. Their collaboration with Vila to create Bob Vila Products has Viatek looking at products for interior home improvement projects as well as exterior curb appeal upgrades.

Continuing on the “tried, true, trustworthy advice” theme of Bob Vila’s website, Viatek has been diligent in designing and developing a line of high quality, useful, and unique products that will fit seamlessly with the Bob Vila brand. From tools to accessories, the line will consist of a range of home improvement items created with the consumer’s needs in mind.
