"We’re now seeing a lot of familiar faces, so it raises our profile in the UK," said director of marketing Jan Terje Nielsen.
Over the past three years, worldwide sales have grown by 40% and, while Norway remains the largest market, the company has experienced "good development" in the UK, Germany and France. It is also selling in volume to Korea.
Mr Nielsen said Kebony’s main end uses were decking and cladding, the latter particularly in the public sector.
"It’s maintenance free and so there are no scaffolding or painting costs," he said.
He added that he believed the EU Timber Regulation would work in Kebony’s favour as the modified timber provided an alternative to tropical hardwoods for which achieving proof of legality may be difficult.
