About Imperial:
Imperial
International is a division of H. Betti Industries, Inc. company.
Our roots run deep. H. Betti Industries was founded in 1934 by Humbert
Betti Sr., who was a young man with a family. At that time, the
company was called "Betson & Sons" and functioned
as an "operator" for vending equipment. As time went on,
Humbert's sons later joined in the business. One of the sons, Humbert
Betti Jr., (Bert), decided to venture into stocking billiard-type
products. He purchased imported cue sticks, cloth and various other
small items which he kept in a steel cabinet in a corner of H. Betti.
In
1952, the billiard portion of H. Betti had grown enough so that
is was able to stand on its own. This division was given the name
"Eastern Novelty" and serviced local taverns with pool
tables and supplies. During this time, we also began importing slate
from Italy...Sometime during the 1952-53 season, bumper pool tables
emerged and Eastern Novelty secured a continual job covering these
tables with cloth for a large distributor.
In
1968, Eastern Novelty no longer seemed to be an appropriate name
and the decision was made to change the name to "Imperial Billiards".
Our slate importing had increased and we were now supplying slate
to all the major manufacturers. This move made Imperial a major
player as a slate importer and distributor in the U.S. during the
late 1960's and into the mid 70's. We gained recognition and our
name became known.
By
the mid 1970's, Imperial Billiards was operating as a company with
a staff of about 20 employees. Michael DiMotta joined Imperial in
1978 as a salesman and in 1983 was promoted to President, a position
he still holds today.
During
the period of 1983-84, Imperial Billiards became "Imperial
International"
Since
that time, we have grown to stock over 10,000 items in both billiard
table and accessories as well as parts for our coin and vending
division. We have offices in California and New Jersey staffing
more than 100 employees. This gives us the regional accessibility
to service our customers both in the U.S. and abroad.
Imperial's
desire to provide quality products at a reasonable cost remains
one of our top priorities. Our long term relationship with our customers
is our other top concern.
