Dec. 22, 2009 - PRLog -- Nova USA Wood Products, an importer and wholesaler of hardwood flooring and decking, was named one of Inc. Magazine's Inc. 500 list  honorees for the year of 2009. The Inc. 500 list is comprised of 500 privately-owned companies showing the largest amount of growth over a three year period. From 2005 to 2008, Nova's revenue grew 1,041%, from $2.2 million dollars annually to $25.2 million dollars, earning the 190th spot on the list. The Inc. 500 Industry Median for the construction category was 54.2% growth.

“The only way to grow is to continue to expand product lines and take market share. You've got to do it better if you want to expand in this market,” says Steve Getsiv, Nova's managing partner.
The key components to Nova USA's success have been its information technology systems and its strong online marketing efforts. Nova USA's website, www.novausawood.com, provides its customers with a wide variety of information regarding wood product attributes and explanations of mechanical properties such as Janka hardness, bending strength, density, and many others. The database back end of the website also serves as the inventory, purchasing, and sales center for Nova operations, affording the company instantaneous tracking of all products, shipments, and inventory levels. The fusion of Nova's web sites and internal support systems maximizes company efficiency, a key contributing factor to Nova's rapid growth.

Nova's growth also stems from the direct presence and oversight of its offices abroad. The company  has a long standing relationship with Nova Forest Products, the company's strategic partner with offices in northern and southern Brazil. This relationship has allowed Nova a competitive advantage when importing woods from Brazil and other areas of South America, giving the company, “boots on the ground” as Getsiv puts it.

Beyond import and wholesale, the company also recently moved further into the retail market with its discount outlet stores: Stone+Wood Outlet in the northwest US and Uncle Hilde's Lumber Outlet in New Hampshire. Nova plans on opening more stores in 2010 in both northwest and northeast regions. “The value proposition at our discount retail stores is simple,” Getsiv says. “We buy direct and we have it in stock; we take advantage of closeouts and liquidations on first quality goods and pass the savings to the customer.”
