At Terradeck, our mission is clear: to unite North American trailers with hardwood excellence. This October, we brought that mission to life at the National Trailer Dealers Association (NTDA) Conference in Tucson, Arizona. Against the stunning backdrop of the JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort, our team engaged with industry leaders, strengthened partnerships, and reinforced our commitment to quality and sustainability. 

Our presence at NTDA was powered by the foundational partnership between Terradeck and PT Buana Triarta. This collaboration creates a direct, transparent supply chain from sustainable Southeast Asian forests to North American manufacturers. By controlling the process from forest to factory, we ensure every Apitong (Keruing) board we deliver is responsibly sourced, precisely engineered, and built to perform.

A Week of Connection in the Arizona Desert 

The NTDA Conference was a dynamic week of meetings, informal networking, and shared industry insights. Here’s a glimpse into our experience:

• Tuesday: A Warm Welcome
  The team converged in Tucson from Indonesia and Dallas Fort Worth. The week kicked off with the newcomers' VIP session, followed by a vibrant evening party. This event, set under the vast Arizona sky, was the perfect start—filled with great food, music, and fellowship.

• Wednesday: Insights and Engagement
  The formal program began with introductions from the NTDA and an economic update on current market trends. The main expo floor then opened, providing a prime opportunity to connect with trailer manufacturers, distributors, and industry partners. The conversations throughout the day were a powerful testament to Terradeck's growing reputation for genuine quality and reliability.

• Thursday: Golf, Growth, and New Horizons
  Thursday featured the annual NTDA golf tournament, a fun and casual setting to build relationships. Between sessions, connections continued at the resort’s pools and social areas. We also seized the opportunity to meet with Studio Caban, a local architecture and design firm, to explore potential applications for our hardwood in construction and architectural markets. The day concluded with the memorable NTDA closing ceremony, celebrating the unity and energy of the industry.

• Friday: Forward Momentum
  After a final morning of conversations and farewells, we departed Tucson energized. We left with new ideas, stronger relationships, and a reinforced excitement for the future we are building with PT Buana Triarta

The NTDA Conference proved that showing up, speaking authentically, and standing by our partners is what truly sets us apart. We don’t just sell hardwood; we deliver a promise of trust, performance, and sustainability.

Together with PT Buana Triarta, we are not merely suppliers. We are relationship builders, standard-setters, and your dedicated partner for the long haul.
