After more than a decade of our products being sold successfully in the UK, and a continued growth in market demand from our UK customers, we have decided to invest in this market and directly bring our innovative and quality countertops to our customers in the UK. We were looking for a storage and distribution unit for our unique and leading products and it needed to be situated near the motorway network in order to best service and deliver to our customers. The carbon neutral rating is also an added bonus, allowing us to operate without harming the environment, which is very important to us.
