Leda Furniture says it has increased their manufacturing staff by 54 percent in the last three months.
While we have seen a modest increase in demand for our residential and office contract line, we are experiencing a tremendous increase in the hospitality sector, said Marco L. Confalone, Leda president.
A surge in hospitality case goods production has Leda scheduling hotel projects well into 2012. Leda attributes the increase to hotels starting to renovate their rooms and to Leda joining with JIS Contract, a sales and marketing specialist to the hospitality sector.
The hotels we are approaching have either lost a domestic vendor and/or are not satisfied with the imported they have tried, Confalone said. Our reputation for providing quality domestically manufactured casegoods and responsive customer service in a timely manner, has allowed us obtain new hospitality customers.
The increase in staff will not only allow Leda to accommodate this increase in production but also allow it to continue providing a quick-ship program for its residential and office contract retailers. We are using this opportunity to increase our presence in the hospitality market and also maintain our commitment to our entire client base," said Confalone.
