Solid wood case goods specialist Cresent Fine Furniture has expanded its Vietnam warehouse by 50 percent, adding 25,000 square feet to its climate-controlled facilities.
"We have added the space in response to the success of the new less-than-container programs that we introduced this year," said Richard Tomkins, Gallatin, Tenn.-based Cresent's director of sales & marketing. "This program is designed to allow our retail partners to reduce their inventory levels and let Cresent hold the finished goods of our best sellers in our warehouse. We take the inventory risk and cash flow burden off our customers, provide a quick turnaround and the retailer saves money."
Tomkins added that new retailers joining the program each week.
"As a result, were adding higher inventory quantities in Vietnam, he said. Today, no one wants to have to buy another container program, so were stocking five collections that can be mixed in as little as 500 cubes and delivered to their door.
The less-than-container program supplements Cresents Tennessee warehouse, which retailers use for sold orders or to replenish best sellers weekly.
