Mechanics |
|
|
In order to achieve these objectives, the company started by selecting items in each product group, that were considered excellent for residential and commercial use and capture customers’ imagination and transform them into fine structures of beauty and elegance for floor and countertops and many more.
Then a standard was established by working closely with the suppliers selected for each item. The whole concept was shared with them, and standards were set for quality, packing and price. We are proud to say we have very strong suppliers for each product and the search will be on going in this area. This will become increasingly important as the number of locations increases, and the challenge to keep consistency of products at each location is increased. |

The next step was to find a suitable location with warehouse, which also can handle sufficient product and is accessible to truckers. A good warehousing facility and also trucking companies in the region that can handle trucking at the most competitive rates. |
