Applied
Art was founded in Laos in 1997 by a group of Danish people, who were
working in Vietnam for different companies for some years.
In
1997 we decided it was time to look around for other places than Vietnam
to get furniture produced. We found Laos very interesting; there was a
lot of wood and many possibilities.
The
company 'Applied Art Trading Co., Ltd.' is 100% foreign owned and is holding
its own import / export license and production license. Our prices are
either EX Factory or FOB Nakhon Phanom (Thailand) or FOB Bangkok (Thailand).
Since
we started our furniture factory we have gone a long way, from only exporting
one container per month, we are now producing 4-6 forty foot container
per month depending on designs and difference in items produced at the
same time.
The
factory is mainly producing garden furniture for export to the European
and Australia market, but we are also doing a few other things like opium
tables, handy crafts, timber etc.
We
are mainly working with hardwoods like Balau, keruing, and teak. We have
access to many difference species of wood known and unknown.
At
present we are working on a FSC project and reckon we will be able to
produce furniture with FSC certification in 1- 1½ year. Until then a Chain
of Custody (CoC) is available.
We
are employing around 180 workers. For our technical support we have a
Vietnamese team and European technician that all speak English, and all
our furniture's are produced on machinery that is imported from Denmark.
