Yes, absolutely. A comprehensive ODM (Original Design Manufacturing) process for outdoor furniture should and can include the sourcing of specific hardwoods as a core competency. This capability is crucial for brands that prioritize durability, aesthetics, and material traceability. Our ODM approach integrates material procurement directly into the project lifecycle. We collaborate with certified suppliers and forestry initiatives to procure hardwoods like Teak, Ipe, Shorea (Balau), and thermally-modified Ash or Oak, known for their natural resistance to rot, insects, and weathering. The process begins with understanding your exact specifications—whether it's a particular grain pattern, density, sustainability certification (like FSC), or regional origin. We then leverage our established supply chain networks to identify and secure the suitable timber, managing the entire logistics chain from mill to factory. This ensures not only the quality and suitability of the hardwood for outdoor use but also guarantees ethical sourcing and consistent supply for your production line. By handling the complexities of hardwood procurement, we enable you to focus on design and market strategy, delivering finished furniture pieces that are built to last and aligned with your brand's values.
