KDM continues to lead the market in exclusive and original products that meet the very highest standards of timber manufacturing.
For 2019, KDM International Ltd have responded to market trends and made further investments in its range of added value timber products.
KDM Sales Director, Ivan Walshe reports, “the outdoor timber market has witnessed significant developments in product design and market trends over the last few years. KDM are at the forefront of these changes, we continually develop our product range to meet the changes in demand to ensure our customers are able to take advantage of every sales opportunity. Despite a slow start to the year, due to a late winter, 2018 has proven to be a very successful year for the outdoor timber market. Levels of demand are always dependent on weather conditions, we moved from the depths of winter to a fantastic summer from early May extending to the end of September and are still witnessing strong demand up to the middle of November. We are particularly pleased with our new Tongue & Groove range of panels and smooth planed posts which have been extremely popular on new housing developments. The T & G Flat Top panel is an ideal product to enhance privacy and noise control. These new designs are now also available in different heights.”
As Ivan further explained, “We are very pleased and encourage to report sales of KDM’s added value products has increased, in particular on our more expensive ranges of panels and gates. Whilst we are all experiencing price pressure and reduced margins KDM are committed to continue supplying the highest quality products in the market. We believe the key to growing market share and building successful partnerships is to provide our customers with the highest specifications, flexibility to order products for immediate delivery or collection in the quantities required and at the right price. Our business strategy has enabled KDM to grow the business with existing long term customers whilst attracting new customers who can see the benefit of purchasing from our extensive landed stock or direct deliveries.”
Through KDM’s diverse product range, stock holding facilities, marketing literature and flexibility of service their customers are able to respond to every opportunity. Louise Aston added, “the ability to order such a wide range of products on a pick-a-pack basis provides our customers greater access to different market sectors. For larger customers we also offer the facility to order direct loads.”
