Detmold Group has recently expanded into Vietnam and the Middle East. The new plants will expand the Group’s global footprint, allowing them to grow through the UAE and GCC as well as create a second export focused plant.
As the Detmold Group grows its sales in existing and new markets they will ensure they continue to develop their manufacturing base to meet these demands. The Group is committed to continually improving their existing plants and also commissioning new sites that create more manufacturing capacity and/or are strategically located to minimise costs such as duties and logistics.
