We are excited to announce that after nearly a year of searching, we have found a fantastic partner to help carry our vision and drive Uniquely Geek's future forward. After thoughtful consideration and many conversations, we have partnered with Omni Gaming out of Addy, Washington. Omni Gaming was one of our few courters that did not just see UG as a revenue stream but truly valued what we've built over the past decade and is dedicated to building upon what we found most important to the company. This partnership marks a new and exciting chapter for UG, bringing fresh opportunities for growth and innovation while staying true to our roots of quality heirloom craftsmanship and customer-centric focus.
We are grateful to have found a partner who shares our passion for creating unique, custom gaming tables, and together, we're excited to explore new possibilities for the brand. For our customers still looking to acquire a legendary item from us, rest assured that nothing will change regarding the quality and personal service we have become known for. If you're in the design queue or considering placing an order, UG will still champion the exceptional craftsmanship and customer experience that defines our legacy.
As I mentioned when we started this search, our goal was to reduce the amount of physical workload on ourselves while not deterring from any part of our mission statement. This partnership allows us all to remain involved with UG, ensuring that the heart and soul of the company will continue to thrive. Nothing will change with our handcrafted, hands-on approach, there will now be a few more hands in a more extensive shop. Sara and I will now have time to focus more on the business's development and management side and take some of those trips we have put off for too many years. Adventure is calling our names!
The first benefit of this partnership is greatly reduced production lead times, which have always been our biggest downfalls. We are excited to announce that we have already been able to cut our current lead times in half, from 18 months to 9 months. Once we get the new shop fully up and running, we hope to keep lead times to under 6 months for all five table lines.
Thank you to our amazing customers and supporters for being a part of this journey. We wouldn't be here without your passion and dedication to this hobby. We're excited about what the future holds and look forward to continuing to serve this incredible community.
Stay tuned for more exciting updates and introductions to Justin and Ben, the leaders of Omni gaming, as we embark on this new adventure together.
