Nood Production Lead Times

This posting is a follow up to our recent un-manufacturing entry. Nood is committed to a true on-demand or made-to-order manufacturing philosophy that has been evolving over the last year. We have endured some growing pains in recent months as we have introduced our Nexterra backing system for tile and have had to make some significant adjustments to our manufacturing processes and procedures. The reality is that those challenges have forced us to make overall changes that have created a more streamlined system that is more rhythmic and structured than ever before.

The net result is that we are proud to announce our standard lead times for tile will be 6-8 weeks and broadloom will be 4-6 weeks. This range is primarily due the fact that we are making and dying a textile and then applying a complex backing. It is not a simple process and there are a lot of moving parts and challenges. It is impossible to predict an exact lead time or ship date as there are essentially three major steps in the process that take on lives of their own. These lead times are well within the standard expectations in the industry. I would argue that being able to offer the complexity and customization that Nood stands for and do that with no minimums and up charges at competitive prices and lead times is pretty compelling. Nood looks forward to growing and evolving with you as we revolutionize carpet one client at a time.
