Exotic Hardwoods Furniture Manufacturing

Raising funds for new Woodworking Machinery & Equipment

Hi,

My name is David Domingo and I have 6 solid years working in the Furniture Industry (and 30 Years in the Construction Industry). Having recently returned to South Africa I would like my company to be a Specialist Manufacturer & Supplier of custom-made timber products to the South African market initially and then exporting in the medium term. Having gained customer intelligence and knowledge whilst working in Zimbabwe market penetration will be easily achievable especially to Hotels, Lodges, Bush Camps etc. as well as to Retailers and Homeowners/Renters.

Products that will be made (Please see Gallery Pics of some of the typical products that have been made)

• Bedroom: Headboards, Bed-bases, Pedestals, Dressing Tables, Stools, Mirrors, Chest of Drawers, Bunk Beds, Toy Boxes, Kist’s etc.
• Dining Room: Tables, Chairs, Sideboards, Servers etc.
• Kitchen: Tables, Chairs, Cupboards, Dressers, Chopping Boards, etc.
