The birth
Once upon a time in 1993, a small wooden furniture company was born in the Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe. And the company was Silkwood Manufacturing.
The experience
Silkwood Manufacturing started with a humble workshop and a handful of passionate craftsmen who had a deep love for woodworking. The company's vision was simple yet powerful:
"To create exquisite, handcrafted wooden & steel furniture and caskets that would stand the test of time and bring joy to people's lives".
In the early years, Silkwood faced numerous challenges struggling to establish its brand and compete with larger, more established furniture manufacturers.
Quality and growth
However, the team at Silkwood had an unwavering commitment to quality and craftsmanship that set them apart. Each piece of product was meticulously designed and expertly crafted, showcasing the company's dedication to excellence.
As time went on, company reputation began to grow. Satisfied customers started to spread the word about our beautiful and durable furniture. Demand soared.
Technology and Innovation
Silkwood expanded operations and invested in new state-of-the-art machinery while still maintaining the essence of traditional woodworking techniques.
In the early 2000s, the company ventured into international markets, exporting its furniture to discerning customers in the European Union. Its commitment to sustainable practices, using responsibly sourced wood, earned them accolades and recognition in the industry.
Continous Improvement
Silkwood continued to innovate and adapt to changing market trends. Management introduced new designs that blended classic elegance with contemporary flair, appealing to a wider audience.
Online Marketing
Silkwood also embraced online platforms and e-commerce, making their furniture accessible to customers worldwide.
Our success was a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction.
In recent years, we have expanded our product range beyond traditional wooden furniture to diversify into smart furniture with ergonomics and space-saving in mind. Our commitment to environmental stewardship has resonated with our customers who value both style and sustainability.
A strong Brand: Guaranteed Quality
Today, the wooden furniture division stands as a beacon of success in the industry while the caskets division has gained solid ground as a strong brand to reckon with.
Silkwood's journey from a small workshop to a global brand is a testament to the power of passion, dedication, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. As we continue to create timeless pieces of furniture and caskets, Silkwood's success story continues to inspire aspiring craftsmen and furniture enthusiasts around the world!
