We have established a sophisticated supply chain that provides our Jing Cheng Woodwork factory in Nan Hai, Guangdong, People's Republic of China with a continuous supply of raw materials from around the world. Prior to processing, these raw materials are carefully sorted and classified according to their quality, grain and color. Due to our significant manufacturing capacity and production volume, we are able to achieve high consistency within each grade level.

From raw materials to finished goods, our wood flooring goes through an extensive 24-step production process. Each step is carefully monitored and continuously fine tuned to achieve the best results possible. A major step in the manufacturing of high quality wood flooring is curing (drying). The purpose of curing is not only to reduce the moisture content of the raw material but also to achieve consistency in moisture content within each piece of wood.

It is a misconception that the drier the wood, the better the quality. To provide long lasting beauty and quality, moisture within each piece of wood used for flooring needs to be distributed evenly. It also needs to achieve a moisture level that matches the environment in which it is installed.

To guarantee optimum results, we deploy a number of highly sophisticated computer-controlled kilns. A computer in the control room manages the curing procedure of each kiln. The initial moisture level of the raw material to be processed and the desired moisture content of the final product govern the curing algorithm used. Once the curing is done, each piece of wood is subject to inspection and verification to ensure that the right moisture level has been attained and that the moisture level is consistent across the wood piece. Any wood that does not conform to our stringent quality standard will not make it to the production line.

Our manufacturing methodology consists of four-sided processing; cross-section processing; application of sealant and lacquer; application of urethane; and color/grain classification.

Four-sided processing involves cutting and shaping the top and bottom as well as the two sides of each wood piece. We have developed a manufacturing technique to accomplish this process in one step thereby achieving a tight dimensional tolerance. Cross-section processing involves cutting and shaping the ends of each wood piece. Sealant and lacquer application protects the wood from external elements such as water vapor. Urethane application, including application of aluminum oxide crystals, is crucial to the appearance and durability of the wood floor. It protects the quality and color of the finished product. Finally, the color and grain sorting process ensures uniformity in our products' appearance and quality. We understand the importance of protecting the environment and we use only environmentally friendly materials in our manufacturing process. We pride ourselves in producing products of high standards and we devote significant resources to quality assurance. Our senior management team also believes in the continuous improvement process and leads the charge on quality is job one.

To address the global wood flooring market, we produce hardwood flooring with over 40 different exotic species in a variety of formats including strip, plank, solid and engineered. Our daily production is in excess of 7,000 sq meters (75,000 sq ft). We invest in the latest production equipment, employ the best manufacturing practices, hire the most competent staff, and focus our management attention to produce the highest quality wood flooring products possible. Our mission is to provide our customers with beautiful exotic wood flooring with exquisite and durable finishes that they can enjoy for years to come.
