To please the Parisians is worth a lot
The first export experience, the first foreign project – especially successfully implemented – is remembered most of all. Andrei Savchenko, owner of Savchenko Furniture & Interiors, has even more reasons for it because the first project was unusual – furnishing a large double-deck landing stage. And not just anywhere, but in Paris itself!
– that first foreign project is not forgotten either because it did not become a mistake on which one studies, often happens in our business, and that useful experience on which it is more pleasant to study. The only real difficulty at that time was getting work visas to France (and we needed them when the Ukrainian part of the project was ready and we had to start the final French – to mount the furniture directly on the Paris landing stage). But the French embassy immediately met us, and the visa complexity ceased to be.
How did such luck happen? We can say that good people helped, and more specifically, French customers – good Kiev acquaintances. They advised: they say, “Savchenko Furniture House” we know firsthand. And it will cope with such a task. You will be satisfied. ” Cope with mutual pleasure.
Mutual pleasure in business, business relations — let’s say from ourselves — is all the more than just moral or even financial satisfaction, that is a stimulating thing. The project executor inspires, so to speak, new achievements (we can do it! And we can do it even better!), And the client – recommend a profitable furniture maker, a successful partner to others. And so it happened, and now Andrei Savchenko’s new French projects are ripening. It remains to be seen whether they will be as complex as the debarkar. It is pertinent to note that “Savchenko Furniture House” proved to him that he can efficiently implement both rather complex and non-traditional complex projects, because for the Parisian flooded facility both wardrobes and a kitchen were made, not to mention everything else, more traditional furniture set. And, importantly, at a high design level. Exactly. Parisian was quite satisfied with the design of the landing stage device that Savchenko had offered them, creating it with his design colleague. But to please the Parisians is worth a lot. Even though the main furniture-like materials were MDF, particleboard, glass, aluminum. Of course, the plate materials of the reputable Egerger brand were chosen.
Confirmation that Savchenko without fear, but boldly and willingly takes on the implementation of complex projects for furnishing large projects, was a large-scale Bulgarian project. This time the furniture needed a three-story cottage. And the customer from “Savchenko Furniture House” received everything – both cabinet and upholstered furniture, chairs and tables.
– Your “Furniture House” is really such a diversified production, can you independently produce furniture of all categories and for all needs?
– And there is. We produce not only furniture, but also the necessary carpentry. Therefore, comprehensive furniture projects are for us. That is our advantage, in that our customers see profitability for themselves. Getting everything from one source, as they say, is convenient and often cheaper.
The company has been in the furniture industry since 2001, but only now has taken a clear course to foreign markets in order to fulfill foreign orders regularly, and not from time to time. Until now, she relied in this matter only on her own strength and experience. Having received this year membership in the Ukrainian Association of Furniture Manufacturers, Andriy Savchenko hopes for better performance in his export aspirations.
The section “Success Stories” was founded as part of a grant project with the support of the Swiss Cooperation Bureau in Ukraine, the name of the project: “Improving the level of cooperation and trust with joint participation in international and national public procurement” – TENDER TOGETHER.
