Materials & Processes
Wood & Wood-Based Materials
Chipboard, furniture board, multiplex, MDF and Birkoplex panels, Kerto, veneers and glued laminated wood form the core material for wall construction, furniture and trade fair elements.
Acrylic Glass
Is milled out, backlit with LED technology and used for logo lettering and design elements.
Glass
Material for project solutions in brand presentation and interior fitting-out.
Steel
Used in wall construction and for load-bearing structures, e.g. in the Fjords project including structural verification.
Aluminium
Used for product presenters and interior fitting-out components, e.g. in the Warema project.
3- and 5-axis CNC machining
Nesting routers with matrix table and 5-axis machining centre with saw aggregate for freeform surfaces, drilling, milling and sawing work.
Lacquering
PC-controlled paint mixing system and 6 x 12 m paint hall with halogen drying system for almost all colors and gloss levels.
Edge Processing
Through-feed edging up to 4100 x 1300 mm with groove milling, filling, cleaning as well as gluing with EVA hot-melt adhesive and PU glue.
