Established overseas warehouses, with products exported to Europe and America

On the morning of the 21st, in the workshop of Shiyuanlou Wood Products Co., Ltd. located on Yunsong Road in Dongyang Woodcarving Town, workers were busy with various processes—cutting boards, wood shavings, assembling panels, punching holes...... Since settling in Woodcarving Town last year, the company has developed rapidly and became an enterprise above designated size within a year.

Previously, the company was engaged in wood product processing in Songshan Town. Due to business expansion and limited space, last year they came to the woodcarving town, rented a factory, and equipped it with paneling machines, hole punchers, planers, and other equipment. They specialize in producing furniture, blinds, handicrafts, and other wooden products, with 95% of their products exported to Europe, America, and other regions.

Regarding sourcing overseas orders, the company's head admitted that he mainly cooperated with friends. Friends handle overseas business and acquire customers through e-commerce platforms and renovation companies, while he focused on production. To reduce logistics costs and improve delivery times, the company has established warehouses overseas.

"Exporting goods by sea to the United States generally takes about a month. Therefore, our warehouse must stock goods that can be sold for at least two months. Although this increases storage costs and inventory pressure, it also enhances our sales advantage. "The company manager said that many customers prioritize local shipping when shopping, shortening delivery times. Additionally, if goods are damaged or sent incorrectly, customers will request returns, exchanges, or reshipments. These issues can be adjusted through overseas warehouse adjustments, improving logistics efficiency, reducing costs, earning customer reputation, and accumulating more resources to expand the market.

To establish a foothold in overseas markets, in addition to having smooth sales channels, excellent product quality is even more essential. Yuanlou Wood Products Company manages every stage of raw materials and shipment, cooperating with timber enterprises in Beijing and Shanghai.

Combining the industrial characteristics of Dongyang's hometown of arts and crafts, Yuanlou Wood Products Company is developing European-style furniture with hand-carved patterns. From sample renderings, you can see that the headboards and sofa legs of these European furniture pieces are exquisitely carved, with leaf and petal patterns being more delicate and lively compared to mechanical carvings. These products will be mass-produced after sampling is completed next year.

The company representative said that the current adjustment and optimization of epidemic prevention policies have provided opportunities for the company to expand its overseas business. Next year, the company plans to open branches in Canada and Germany. If possible, he also thought of traveling to the United States to learn about market conditions firsthand, develop more furniture products tailored to local needs, better provide after-sales service, and further expand market share.
