Accsys, a global leader in high-performance wood technology in the UK, has forged a strategic partnership with GMX Group, a major provider of premium, sustainable building materials across North America. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for Accsys, as its renowned Accoya wood will now be distributed through GMX’s wholesale division, Global Forest LBM, under the Maximo brand, with a specific focus on decking applications. By leveraging GMX Group’s extensive distribution network, Accsys is set to expand the reach of Accoya, particularly in fast-growing markets such as Florida and Texas.
The collaboration between Accsys and GMX Group is driven by a shared commitment to sustainability, durability, and performance. Accoya, an acetylated wood, is recognized globally for its exceptional qualities, including outstanding durability, stability, and resistance to environmental wear and tear. The wood is not only a high-performance solution for construction projects but also an environmentally responsible choice. Accoya is produced using a sustainable acetylation process that enhances its natural properties, making it ideal for applications in areas where longevity and environmental impact are key considerations.
Through this partnership, GMX Group, which has a well-established presence in North America, will be able to provide its customers with easier access to Accoya’s range of sustainable wood products. GMX’s Maximo brand will now feature Accoya as a premium product for decking applications, meeting the growing demand for eco-friendly, durable materials in the building and construction sector.
The partnership aims to significantly increase the availability and visibility of Accoya in high-demand regions like Florida and Texas. These states are experiencing rapid growth in construction, especially in the residential and commercial sectors. The demand for sustainable decking materials is growing as homeowners, builders, and architects seek long-lasting, environmentally-friendly solutions. With GMX’s vast distribution network, Accoya will become more accessible to these regions, allowing more customers to benefit from its advanced properties.
“Our collaboration with GMX Group represents an exciting evolution for Accoya in North America,” said Sergio Munhoz, Sales Director for Accsys in North America. “GMX brings deep market insight, as well as a strong distribution infrastructure. Together, we’re enabling broader access to high-quality and sustainable wood solutions that meet the demands of today’s builders, architects, and homeowners, while supporting a more responsible future for the industry.”
For GMX Group, the partnership with Accsys aligns perfectly with its mission to lead the way in greener construction by offering low-carbon, durable materials. Giovani Miguel, CEO of GMX Group, shared his excitement about the partnership: “At GMX, we’re focused on shaping the future of greener construction by promoting durable, low-carbon materials like wood. We’re excited by the opportunity to work with Accoya, a sustainable, high-performance option that aligns with our values. Partnering with Accsys allows us to offer a premium product that not only meets the performance expectations of our customers but also supports our long-term commitment to responsible sourcing and environmental leadership.”
Supporting Accsys’s growth strategy in North America
This partnership is a crucial element of Accsys’s strategic growth plan in North America. The region has seen impressive growth, with a 16% year-over-year increase in sales volume for Accoya. By teaming up with GMX Group, Accsys is further cementing its position as a leader in the North American market for high-performance, sustainable wood products. The collaboration will double distribution in key areas, providing greater market penetration and faster access to Accoya products, which are already in high demand due to their exceptional qualities and eco-friendly attributes.
Accsys has long been committed to providing sustainable, high-performance wood solutions to the construction and design industries. With this partnership, the company will be able to expand its market presence significantly and meet the rising demand for eco-friendly materials in building projects across North America.
The move is a win for builders, homeowners, and the environment alike. As sustainability becomes an increasingly important factor in construction and renovation projects, the need for high-performance, environmentally-friendly materials has grown. Accoya provides a solution that meets these needs by offering a long-lasting, low-maintenance wood that requires fewer chemical treatments and has a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to traditional wood products. By using Accoya in decking and other outdoor applications, builders can offer their customers a more sustainable alternative to pressure-treated lumber or other traditional materials that may be less durable and more harmful to the environment. As a result, the partnership not only benefits the construction industry but also contributes to a greener future for the planet.
In the future, the Accsys and GMX Group collaboration is expected to propel even more expansion and sustainability in the building materials industry. Both businesses are committed to furthering their common goals of high-quality wood products and environmentally sustainable building. With the help of GMX Group’s strong distribution networks, Accoya’s position in the North American market is anticipated to grow as the demand for environmentally friendly building materials keeps rising.
The collaboration is also poised to set a new standard for decking materials in the construction industry, offering customers a durable, high-performance alternative that is better for the environment and built to last. Through this collaboration, Accoya’s presence in North America will be significantly boosted, offering builders and homeowners alike a durable, sustainable, and eco-friendly option for decking and other outdoor applications. With GMX Group’s distribution expertise and Accsys’ commitment to performance and sustainability, this partnership is poised to reshape the future of the construction industry in North America.
In conclusion, this strategic partnership marks an exciting chapter for both Accsys and GMX Group, as they work together to provide innovative and sustainable solutions to the growing North American construction market. By expanding the availability of Accoya through GMX’s established network, the companies are contributing to the future of greener building practices, ensuring that Accoya remains at the forefront of the high-performance wood industry for years to come.
