Collaborative Venture Announced by Teakdecking Systems

Teakdecking Systems (TDS), a leading provider of teak, composite, and cork decking systems, has announced a strategic partnership with Total Decking Services to enhance its market reach across the United States. This collaboration aims to deliver superior quality decking solutions to boats ranging from 20 to 150 feet, particularly targeting regions in Maine, Newport/Southern New England, and the Chesapeake area.

This partnership leverages the extensive expertise of Matt Graham, the owner of Total Decking Services, who brings a rich background in marine craftsmanship and business management to the table. Starting his career in boatyards at the tender age of 14, Graham later ascended to the role of chief operating officer at Lyman-Morse Boatbuilding, where he served for eight years.

Total Decking Services was initially established by Larry Murray in 1987 with the purpose of catering to TDS clients in the New England market. Over the years, under Graham's leadership, the company has broadened its services beyond New England to include the Southern New England and Chesapeake Bay regions, areas known for their robust maritime activities and potential for growth.

Matt Graham expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "Working with TDS not only enhances our capability to offer superior service but also expands our operational footprint into significant maritime centers." He further emphasized the company's commitment to efficiency and quality, noting, "Our goal is to provide the most effective and highest-quality decking installations for TDS projects."

Graham also highlighted the challenges faced by boat owners and builders concerning decking solutions and reiterated his commitment to delivering products characterized by precision, durability, and exceptional craftsmanship. He stressed the importance of focusing on long-term customer satisfaction and is eager to introduce these premium decks to a broader audience.

Richard Strauss, CEO of TDS, also commented on the new alliance, saying, "We are thrilled to partner with Matt Graham and his team at Total Decking. Their expertise and commitment are perfectly aligned with our mission to offer top-tier decking solutions in the industry." He added that this partnership is poised to enhance their service delivery in key markets and maintain the high standards that TDS is renowned for globally.

Founded in 1983, Teakdecking Systems is an employee-owned entity with production facilities in Florida and Spain. The company has established itself as a trusted name in the marine industry, known for its high-quality decking solutions that cater to a variety of vessels, from classic yachts to contemporary racing boats.

This partnership marks a significant step in Teakdecking Systems' strategy to expand its footprint in the marine decking market, promising enhanced service and product offerings to clients in the United States.
