Expansion Plans
All indicators are pointing to a 15% increase in housing starts over the next twelve months and a 20% increase over the next twenty four months in the Windsor and Detroit regions. We at Sulja Bros. are preparing for this increase by implementing an aggressive and well calculated expansion plan with retail warehouses, showrooms and yards in Toledo, Ohio; Fort Wayne, Indiana; London, Ontario and Kitchener, Ontario.
In the Windsor Ontario region, our plans include moving the retail and storage portions of the business to a more centrally located yard. This move will not only save on delivery fuel expense and increase exposure to prospective clients; it will also expand our delivery perimeter which will increase our client base. The area being considered is on Manning Road in Tecumseh Ontario.
The new yard will not only boast an extensive showroom to showcase our more extensive product line, but will also house an interior storage yard. The interior yard is a great asset and will better preserve our lumber stock and protect it from climate conditions characteristic of this region. Greater inventory controls and less damaged materials will increase our profits and will allow us to provide a better product to our clients.
Our existing yard and structures in Harrow Ontario will serve as additional storage as well as our newly formed truss manufacturing facility. The new facility will manufacture wood roof trusses and wall panels and will service both Canadian and American markets. Negotiations and planning have been on going with equipment providers and product suppliers which will make this one of the most modern and efficient truss plants in the region. Upon its completion, Sulja Bros. will be in a position to provide a complete in-house package to our clients at very competitive prices while increasing our profits.
In Detroit our plans include expanding our current location located in Lincoln Park Michigan. The Facility already boasts indoor lumber storage as well as a central location to service the area affectively. A showroom will be added to the yard so builders can choose windows, trim and other finishing products.
Further to this, a boom truck, transport trailer, and cube van will be added to the Michigan fleet to make logistics and deliveries more effective. Moving product quickly and efficiently results in greater customer satisfaction and higher profits.
The cities of Toledo, Ohio and Fort Wayne, Indiana will host our new stores, for the expansion into the Central North East of the United States. Kitchener, Ontario and London, Ontario are also cities to which our new retail showrooms, construction supply warehouses and yards will be located to infiltrate the heightened growth of the construction market of Southwestern Ontario.
