Copy from Furniture Journal – Quality is King
It is no suprise that as cheaper imports come in from the Far East and oil prices hike up the costs of materials, cost pressures begin to mount up for the furniture manufacturer.
Worried that cheaper imports will diminish the quality of your furniture? Weatherald Wood Components has the solution.
As imported products become the norm in modern markets, increasingly the kitchen market is bing flooded with standard offerings from importers, leaving many prestige kitchen companies with a problem - how can you produce a range of furniture that is unique and maintain your reputation for quality.
Weatherald Wood Components has an answer. The Dales based manufacturer of kitchen components such as profiles, lippings, canopies, pilasters, units and panels, is using its many years of manufacturing expertise, excellent lacquering facilities and colour match ability to assist customers from concept to finished product.
Recently the company has designed and manufactured canopies, display units and other triims and accessories for the Pippy Oak range for Magnet. Weatherald enabled Magnet to offer a complete Kitchen range to the kitchen manufacturer and retailer's own design and quality specifications by a very cost-effective route. "With the cost pressures faced by many large organisations we can be a valuable partner by offering the full bespoke solution," explains Roy Fishwick, managing director of Weatherald. "from design through to prototypes and finally production, we can offer batches as few as twelve up to the hundreds. We can usually offer significant improvments on imported lead times once we have established a relationship with our client. This removes irksome products from our customers' production but allows them to offer a full range to their own clients."
By consolidating its niche in bespoke components, Weatherald is having tremendous success in a highly pressurised marketplace. As well as kitchen components, the company has also found success in the prestige bathroom and bedroom market. Recently the company has produced 150 bathroom cabinets in solid timber and veneer, on a tight lead time for a large hotel contract.
