The company has been shipping products to the USA, England, Ireland, Australia, Germany, Belgium, France, New Zealand and Canada. In 1996, when he saw a stack of pallets at the factory, he instantly knew there was another use for them. From there, their reclaimed furniture line was born. Since then, they have been producing reclaimed furniture for some of the biggest retailers around the world. To this day, they continue working with reclaimed furniture as a specialty. They also manufacture using other materials like oak, rubber wood, MDF and veneers. However, they have always had a soft spot for using reclaimed furniture and doing their part for the environment.
