designs,” he said. “Since we have the flex-
ibility, almost close to half of our business
is customizing specific designs to suit the
client’s needs and I think that separates us
from a lot of other companies.”
Working closely with the information tech-
nology field has also influenced operations
within the company’s warehouse and it
is now highly computerized to increase
speed, accuracy and, ultimately, quality.
Nienkämper attributes much of the com-
pany’s success to their partners in the IT
field who have helped them produce their
award-winning conference tables, and to
their aluminum manufacturer in Toronto
that supplies the materials frequently used
in their designs.
“We have always maintained if there are
other companies that can do things better
than we can, we should go there and let
them do it for us,” he said. “And that has
worked very well and that is always what
we do.”
