Greg Melvin

The Early Years

Greg’s product development and export experience began in 1991 with custom-designed Asian-sourced products destined for the US retail consumer markets. Operating a wholesale distribution warehouse in the US and heading a sales force
consisting of 10 US showrooms and 140 sales representatives, a client
base quickly developed, and included Walt Disney World, Epcot Center, MGM Studios and numerous US department stores, mall chain stores & boutiques.


Archipel 1995-Present

Wholesale / Export
In 1995, Greg started Archipel while implementing the design and supply of the room and F&B (OSE) accessories for the new Ritz-Carlton Bali. Greg has since built Archipel into a respected brand within the international hospitality industry, known for consistently delivering freshly designed Asian-sourced products on a commercial quality level. Due in large part to Greg’s hard work, Archipel’s reputation for its work with prestigious clients is unsurpassed as a result of its ongoing commitment to exceeding expectations and meeting critical deadlines.


Corporate Retail

Palanquin Bali
In April 2001, Greg developed Palanquin Bali to serve as the retail expansion of Archipel. It quickly became recognized as “…the hottest shopping destination in Bali,” according to the Asian Wall Street Journal. This experience in corporate level retail completed the vertical level of expertise that began with export production ten years earlier, and has helped cement Greg’s international reputation for constantly delivering excellence and high quality in both the retail and hospitality fields.
