Montu Soni, director at Jaipur Furniture, shares an insight into new products and sustainability importance.
Jaipur Furniture is a leading exporter of solid wood furniture from India. The company has a rich history spanning over 30 years and is based in Jaipur and Jodhpur in the state of Rajasthan, northern India – a region long famed as an important hub for handicrafts and home furnishings production.
In the UK, Jaipur has a warehouse based in Huntingdon, where they pride themselves on being able to offer a quick turnaround to customer orders. Offering a vast variety of products, available directly from either their warehouse or manufacturing facility in India, the company has continued to grow internationally, supplying some major businesses in the process.
These include the likes of IKEA, Maisons du Monde and Dunelm to name but a few, while the company has ambitions to continue its growth trajectory, using the January Furniture Show (JFS) as the ideal platform to introduce new products.
“During JFS, we’re excited to launch a number of new collections, which includes our Zaine and Parquet range in Mango wood, as well as the Epoxy Dining Collection, which we think will be a big hit at the show,” Montu Soni, director at Jaipur Furniture, said.
One of Jaipur’s core principles is incorporating sustainable practices within business operations and products, as Soni continues: “We are doing very well at the moment. The warehouse has been brilliant and has seen continued year-on-year growth in order volumes. As we are direct to factory, customers don’t need to go to a third party to buy, they can come direct to us without the need for a wholesaler.
“Customers can order direct containers at the same price without travelling to India and enjoy exclusive deals through direct 20’/40’ HQ container imports from our UK office, while also being able to communicate directly with us to get updates on factory orders without any hesitation.
“We also continue our commitment to the environment. We’ve reduced our CO2 footprint by adopting eco-friendly packaging and harnessing power through wind turbines. There’s always more to do, but we are making great strides.”
Jaipur Furniture, which has been the recipient of India’s Top Export Award in the Solid Wood category for the past 10 years, says one of its key initiatives, and reasons to its ongoing success, is their commitment to sustainably sourced products.
Soni added: “We’re committed to comply with the law of the land, forestry and environment conservation to provide sustainable furniture. Our factories have committed to an initiative where we plant 100 seeds for when one tree is sawn.”
With full focus turning to the January Furniture Show, Soni expects another successful event following last year’s appearance. “We can’t wait to show our customers around our new products at the show, so make sure you come and see us.”
