“We’re combining traditional craftsmanship with new materials—lumber, quartz, granite—to create a truly unique, premium design,” Allen relays. PARTNERING WITH LOCAL EXPERTISE TTWS’s ability to deliver consistent quality also relies on its local supplier network, a vital component of its operational strategy. Partners such as House of Marketing and Carpenter’s Edge supply specialized boards and materials used in cabinetry and doors, while Bobby’s Sawmill provides much of the raw lumber. PVC doors—one of TTWS’s newest product lines—have quickly become popular for their rich appearance, affordability, and durability. “PVC doors are the future for many households,” Allen notes. “They look luxurious but are cost-effective and lowmaintenance.” By working closely with these domestic partners, TTWS reduces lead times, supports local industry, and keeps money circulating within the national economy. EYES ON THE HORIZON: REGIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION With its foundation strong and production more efficient than ever, TT Woodworking Specialists is now turning outward. The company has already expanded sales into several Caribbean islands and is now exploring opportunities on the African continent. “We’re currently in negotiations with a company in Ghana,” Allen reveals. “Our goal is to establish a presence in West Africa, beginning with Ghana, Senegal, and the Ivory Coast.” This strategic move reflects both ambition and pragmatism. African markets present natural opportunities for companies like TTWS, where craftsmanship, affordability, and cultural connection intersect.Allen sees the expansion as the next major chapter in the company’s legacy. With automation advancing, regional exports growing, and new markets emerging, TTWS is wellpositioned to continue shaping the woodworking landscape across the Caribbean—and beyond. 43 BUSINESS VIEW CARIBBEAN VOLUME 12, ISSUE 11 TRINIDAD & TOBAGO WOODWORKING SPECIALISTS
