For 'Keukens De Abdij' complete Trademart and TICA each other perfectly during purchasing. By combining both locations, they can make targeted purchases and at the same time gain new inspiration.
1. More variety, creativity, and efficiency
For retailers who do not yet combine both locations, Maïté primarily sees advantages in the combination of strong brands, showroom experience, flexibility and directly available products.
“We buy both at Trademart and at TICA. This combination works very well for us because both floors complement each other nicely.”

According to Maïté, the greatest added value lies in the combination of fixed collections and direct inspiration. At Trademart, Keukens De Abdij finds strong showroom brands for targeted purchases, while TICA complements with trend products and seasonal items.
By combining both locations, a unique and varied assortment is created.
“The nice thing is that you can efficiently combine different styles, brands, and price points during one visit.”
A purchasing day usually starts with a clear plan. In advance, it is determined which products, styles, or themes are needed for future projects, showrooms, or store presentations. In the showrooms, meetings with brands are combined with targeted orders, after which TICA supplements with new products and trend items.
“You get the best of both worlds: on the one hand, strong brands and a professional showroom experience, on the other hand, the flexibility, inspiration and direct availability of products. It ensures more variety, creativity and efficiency during shopping.”
3. A stronger and more complete assortment
At Trademart, the focus is mainly on basic collections and well-established brands that are collaborated with in the long term. TICA, on the other hand, offers trendy items, seasonal decorations, and smaller accessories that respond more quickly to current trends and impulse purchases. Especially for trade fairs, these quickly available trend products are of great added value.
By combining both locations, the assortment has become stronger and more complete. According to Maïté, Kitchens De Abdij can thus renew faster while maintaining a recognizable style in the showrooms.
New ideas arise from interior trends, social media, customer reactions and visits to Trademart and TICA.
“We are particularly satisfied with the strong combinations we can make with the brands and products that are available.”
