Jacsons for retail foray pan-South

Sliced decorative wood veneers maker Jacsons, has entered the branded retail space with concept stores that will offer one-stop solution for all wood-based product requirements. The concept stores would be opened across all south Indian states, with the intention of "getting closer to customers and introducing globally benchmarked products and services under one roof". The Rs 50-crore group, which has manufacturing units at Kochi and Chennai, has plans to introduce fire-rated doors and sound-proof doors for use in high-rise buildings, star hotels, operation theatres and recording studios based on international standards, and has also finalised plans to enter the office furniture segment in both domestic and international markets in a big way.
