Faster delivery times

By becoming independent of external suppliers, the customer significantly reduced lead times.

The pre-finishing line allowed for unique, artisan finishes, strengthening the company’s position in the premium segment. Full control over the finishing process ensured a consistently high standard.

Greater flexibility

The ability to efficiently handle both bulk production and custom orders opened new market opportunities.

The process

A major parquet flooring wholesaler was ready for the next step: gaining independence from suppliers while adding extra value and flexibility to their services. They had a significant stock of parquet flooring in various sizes and colors but depended on external suppliers for the right finishing. This made delivery reliability uncertain and limited their ability to quickly and efficiently respond to customer demands.

The wholesaler approached us with a clear request: help us set up our own oak parquet finishing line, with a strong focus on high quality and maximum flexibility.

During our analysis, we identified several key challenges:

  • Dependence on external suppliers, making it difficult to guarantee delivery times and consistent quality.
  • High customer expectations, requiring a wide range of finishing options and customization.
  • Space and investment constraints, necessitating an efficient and future-proof solution.

Together with the customer, we mapped out the expectations and needs of the end customers. We analyzed the desired finishes and the available production space. Additionally, we assessed the technical requirements needed to ensure a high-quality standard.

To guarantee maximum flexibility and product quality, we developed a two-step approach:

  1. A pre-finishing line, enabling the transformation of basic floorboards into aged, authentic, artisan flooring.
  2. A finishing line, designed for applying the final treatments such as oils, lacquers, and other coatings.

Throughout the process, we shipped multiple samples to the customer to discuss different finishing options. Based on their feedback, we configured the production lines to efficiently handle both large production runs and small, customized batches.

  • First, the finishing line was built, fully tailored to the required specifications and designed for future expansion. This allowed the wholesaler to efficiently process both large-scale production runs and smaller, customized orders.
  • Next, the pre-finishing line was introduced, enabling the transformation of basic floorboards into aged, artisan parquet flooring. This added a valuable new product category to their portfolio.

With this investment, the customer gained full control over the finishing process and was able to respond quickly to changing customer demands.
