A UK-based furniture business needed a trusted local partner to manufacture hardwood chair and bar stool frames.
This commercial client was looking for a manufacturer that could produce components with short lead times, accommodate ongoing design updates and ensure consistent quality. UK production was a priority — not just for sustainability reasons, but to allow close collaboration and fast turnarounds.
We worked closely with the client, starting with prototyping their initial designs. When they identified a CAD error affecting hole placement, we received the revised files, re-ran our CAM processes, and delivered the updated parts within days.
To meet their requirements for 5–10 chair and stool frames each month, we implemented a robust workflow that included advance preparation and programming — enabling fast, repeatable production runs without compromising on precision.
Our team used complex CAM programming to machine tight-tolerance joints, ensuring every frame was both structurally sound and visually clean. Our in-house CNC and hardwood machining facilities gave us full control over quality and scheduling
The client now benefits from a reliable UK supply chain partner who delivers quality hardwood frames and supports their evolving design process. With the ability to respond quickly to adjustments and maintain consistency across every batch, we’ve become a vital part of their production team, helping them grow without sacrificing agility.
