New Kewaunee Technical Furniture website launches
North Carolina based Kewaunee Scientific is a well-known leader in the design, manufacture, and installation of clinical healthcare, industrial, and technological furniture systems. With a century-long reputation for manufacturing high-end technical furniture systems, the company needed a website presence that accurately reflected its flexible furniture lines and the unique expertise the company brings to the table.
And, compared to their competition, bringing more to the table is precisely what Kewaunee does. Hence, Triad developed a positioning line for the company reflecting just that: “We bring more to the table.” The site itself was designed to be easily navigable, making it simple for prospects to “shop” the Kewaunee line to find the style of furniture they need for their particular environment.
Within the first month, the site received a large number of unique visits, and the Kewaunee sales staff has fielded several qualified inquiries.
