Special Report: Asian Connections By Thomas Russell --- Furniture Today, 5/7/2007
Focus on occasional furniture in Vietnam (EXTRACT): That
includes Jeff Dilley, president and CEO of Exsero Ltd., a firm that
provides consulting and support for furniture companies looking to
source in Vietnam. Having seen Vietnam's rise in outdoor and bedroom
furniture, he views occasional as the next level of opportunity fro
both manufacturers and importers. And given Vietnam's low labor costs
and its experience in the handicraft industry, he sees it being able to
handle both the medium and high end. "Moving into home accents, both in
home furnishings and home decor, is where Vietnam has strength as a
source," he said. "Vietnam has a strong background in handicrafts and
people are going there for new , eclectic things."

At The Market (LAS VEGAS JULY 2006)? Sourcing
consultant EXSERO LIMITED is showing a group of Vietnamese-made
occasional and casual furniture at the market here this week (EXTRACT).
Jeff Dilley, Exsero's managing principal, said the
mix of products here demonstrates the diversity of Vietnamese
manufacturing capabilities. He believes the new group will resonate
with retailers, wholesalers and big-box stores looking to source
product from Vietnam."I am representing the essence of what Vietnam can
produce at this point," Dilley said, noting that Vietnamese
manufacturers have a strong heritage in handicrafts that is illustrated
in the Entrevina collection. "I am taking that capability and putting
it in factories that have some production capacity." Dilley, who has
run Exsero from Vietnam since 1994, said he likely will tap into other
Vietnamese factories for additional product lines in the future.
