John Bowmar, from Wellington-based ACMA Industries, is excited at the chance to be involved in the LCM project and says the opportunity came at a perfect time.
‘We have just developed an exciting new impact-absorbent flooring product called “Kradal” for the elderly, which is highly impact absorbing yet firm enough for them to stand and walk on without increasing the risk of a fall, and because we’re increasingly aware of the “green” side of commerce we decided we wanted to learn more about the entire life cycle of the product.
ACMA is a specialty polyurethane manufacturer and the flooring is their first building product.
John says the involvement in LCM is a form of risk management for ACMA and the company sees it as a positive point of difference in a competitive industry.
‘We have to listen carefully to our customers and be ready to supply what they want and need and products with sound environmental credentials are included. Furthermore, we didn’t want to get to the stage of launching a really good new product and have a competitor suddenly raise issues within the industry of its environmental performance.’
