Amba® Products Promotes Harris Wattles to Vice President

Amba Products, a leading provider of luxury heated towel racks, announces the appointment of Harris Wattles to Vice President. After nearly 18 years with the company, Wattles has spent his career in sales, operations, and leadership roles—preparing him for this next step.

Wattles will accelerate growth across commercial and consumer channels—expanding Amba's footprint in hospitality and spec-driven markets while strengthening its showroom and e-commerce presence.

The appointment was a strategic move for Amba, driven by demand increases on both sides of the business. In the commercial sector, developers and operators are seeking products that enhance the guest experience and operational efficiency. At the same time, consumer interest continues to grow as homeowners prioritize comfort, wellness, and design-forward bathroom upgrades.

As Regional Sales Manager, he led a 31-state territory generating $3 million in revenue and worked with a network of independent sales agencies, showrooms, and online platforms. Earlier, as General Manager, he oversaw daily operations and supported the systems and processes that underpinned the company's growth.

"Harris has grown with this company for many years," said Andrew Manidis, CEO at Amba Products. "He knows the business, the people, and the market. This promotion is a reflection of the role he's already been playing."

Amba has long had a foothold in hospitality, particularly in boutique and luxury environments, while maintaining a strong presence in the showroom and online retail space. The company sees continued opportunity to grow both segments in parallel as expectations around performance and design continue to rise.

Wattles will continue working with designers, developers, retail partners, and sales teams while helping guide product strategy and market approach. He also serves on the Board of Directors for the Decorative Plumbing and Hardware Association.

"I've spent most of my career here, so transitioning into this role feels like a natural next step," said Wattles. "There's a lot of opportunity ahead—both in commercial projects and in how we connect with consumers, and I'm looking forward to building on that."
