C.V. Armada Orient was established in Solo in 1999. Initially we were mainly a buying office for Australian customers, with the emphasis in early days on cheap mahogany furniture and handicrafts. Within a few very short years however we evolved. Our plan was to sell better quality kiln-dried product. We built our own kilns, instituted more rigorous quality control and tried in every way to improve our product. We started doing our own production. And we worked closely with our customers, asking them for feed-back and suggestions. Our market area changed too – soon we were selling to Europe, then US, Asia, and the Middle East. These days, we have buyers spread out all over the world. And many of them have been loyal customers for years and years. Today has 20 years experience manufacturing, sourcing, and exporting goods. And along the way we have made good friends with a lot of wonderful people around the world.
