Business of the Month: New Liskeard furniture builder competing – and thriving

The president of the New Liskeard furniture manufacturer has seen the company weather a few storms in its 50-plus years of operation, most notably a roof collapse following a winter snowfall in 2014 that knocked the factory’s field of manufacturing equipment out of commission, hampering operations for a few weeks.

That persistence could be inherited from his father, Heinz Dittmann, who emigrated to Canada from Germany following the Second World War.

“We think it's a testament to the strength of our collaborative design process,” Binnendyk said. “It's just another element to support our overall design with intent proposition.” “We stand out by our humanity,” he said. “We're responsive, we're reliable, with that core value of thoughtfulness.
