Wake up call

  As it looks we will have to live with corona - definitely in the next few years and it will become part of our everyday life just like another but more flu. Because of mutations it's uncertain whether there will be an effective vaccination, so we can only live healthy and avoid dangerous situations.

  At the same time, we have to earn our living, the state aid will seep into the sand and we have to see that our business continues and generates profits.

  That was always our principle also during corona times. We have not - like many others - stopped producing and developing new models. And this has paid off, at least for some customers, in almost all of the countries with which we do business. some of them have stopped to buy - yes, but others continued buying, have a good website and were able to make successful customer appointments despite lock downs.

  Despite corona you cannot say that people are in a bad mood, because they want and need to consume. Of course no longer so random and anything possible, as well as beforehand - no, but very carefully considered and selected and oriented online. And there is definitely an interest in our furniture. The boat wood story is still far from over.

  With this newsletter we would like to give all despondent courage to give it a try, because if someone limits his activity and has nothing new to offer and cannot be reached via the internet, the business will stop at some point like an old watch.

  We continue with weekly new models and fresh stock. And as we already pronounced, until the end of the year we will give the full 20 'container discount = 15% on all orders and stock buying from 2 cbm. Also full worked out photos are availble for free of cost until then. So just be brave and do not hesitate.

Greetings

AFB Team

New colonial style collection

Oh yeah, our name is all off the boat, so everything should be made of boat wood!? Yes, it was so, but now we are going to fall a little bit out of the ramen and make a new collection from old Indonesian colonial doors. We call it colonial style because all the doors are from the Dutch colonial era in Indonesia.

Here are some new patterns :

More new patterns coming soon!

Lockdown Loosenings

Dear business friends

Times are somewhat unpredictable. The end customer is quite willing to spend money on furniture, but only if he gets exactly what he wants.For some this may mean that they have their warehouse full, but what the customer is looking for is just not in stock and it can take too long to get to the next container.

For this reason, we offer small quantities for mixed container or LCL shipments from July 1st until the end of the year with discount 15%. This means that we accept orders under a 20ft container and grant the 15% discount, which is normally only given for 20'containers. The cargo minimum volume is usually 2 cbm. You can meet individual customer requests. The customer gets what he wants and you and we still make some money and the factory has work.

We also offer our regular customers that we can provide you with our stock photos without our stamp that you can offer your customers. To avoid multiple sales, we just have to make sure that you reserve immediately and that the item is no longer offered by us.

Here are some examples of the cost of LCL shipments :

Happy New Year !!!

Dear customers

We wish you all a happy and successful new year!

By the way: we have reinstalled the product category New Designs into our website. We had taken it out because we wanted to make it more difficult for copiers to steal our ideas. But if someone wants to copy you, he will find a way anyway. So we prefare to show open what we are able to create. It’s more important for us to make sure that our customer can find what’s new with one click!

In the last months we have released a lot of new dsigns and that goes on and on, and some really great ideas will follow soon. As mentioned, you will find New Designs in the main menu.

Best Regards

AFB Team

Dear former customers and potential new customers,

My name is Kurt Eichhorn and I did own about 10 years ago the India House in Mainz/Germany. I had sold the company back then because I wanted to do an adventure trip around the world. It was funny at first, but in Indonesia I got the good idea - from the abundant colorful fishing boats - to make furniture. Indonesia has many islands and a large part of the population lives from fishing. If the boats and ships are no longer seaworthy, they will be sold - mainly to me and my partners.

I did not really want to do business anymore, but the great success was so captivating that I gave up my adventure dreams. In the meantime, I keep bussy three small factories and ship my furniture all over the world - but not to Germany. That can not be due to the national character, since I am a German myself and I like my furniture very much, right? For this reason, I have decided to send a newsletter to all my old customer contacts, in the hope that one or the other a log-in for the GH area of my Website requested.

Throughout September we top the usual wholesale discounts with 10% extra -only for ready stock, not for orders. We work with a discount system:

Everything under one 20 'container depending on volume 5-10% sale plus 10% again

20 'container 15% sale plus 10% again

40 'container 20% sale plus 10% again.

These are especially beautiful pieces, which were collected for this action. In great hope to sell my stuff to Germany

It is truly a tough summer and the consumer's spending propensity does not seem to be very big.

For this reason, we have decided to organize a summer ending sale from 1st to 30th of September and only on existing stock and also on the stock coming in at this time.

We offer each customer an additional 10% discount in this period, in addition to the discount she/he will receive anyway. This action is not valid for orders.

Discount rules :

smaller than a container : 5 - 10% + 10% extra discount

a 20'container                 : 15% + 10% extra discount

a 40'container                 : 20% + 10% extra discount
