01 What we are

How we work with distributors and contractors.

We sell our own product in Kosovo. Everywhere else, we work as a manufacturer for other people’s brands. That distinction is deliberate, and it is the basis on which every export programme we run is set up.

01

Own-brand / OEM

Our engineering and our standard construction, produced under your brand. The fastest route to a range, because the development work is already done.

02

Contract manufacture

Your drawings and your specification, built to them. We engineer for production and come back with what needs to change and what it will cost if it doesn’t.

03

Complete room packages

Kitchenette, wardrobe, vanity, desk, headboard panelling and the room door — one specification, one colour, one delivery, one supplier to chase.

We manufacture and we deliver. We do not design your projects, we do not specify on your behalf, and we do not install on site — those are your business and we are not set up to take them.

On an own-brand programme our name does not appear on the product, the packaging or the documentation that reaches your client. What we make on your programme is yours to sell as yours.

02 Products

Five categories. One construction standard.

The specification below is what we build as standard for project work. Every element of it is open to change on an own-brand or contract programme — a starting point, not a catalogue you have to buy from.

Wardrobes, vanities and casegoods

Everything else in the room, built to the same standard as the kitchen units so that the whole package matches once it is installed.

Interior doors, complete

A door is not a leaf. It is a leaf, a frame, an architrave, a lock, hinges and a handle — and on a project of any size those six things routinely arrive from four suppliers, in two finishes, three weeks apart. We engineer and finish the whole assembly in-house, on the same line as the joinery, in the same colour.

Matched across every category

Because all five categories run through the same finishing line, the wardrobe front, the kitchenette door, the vanity and the room door can be specified in one colour and produced in one batch.

Sourced separately from separate suppliers they almost never match — not badly, but visibly, once they are installed a metre apart in the same room. It is one of the most common snags on a fit-out handover list, and it is a sourcing decision rather than a workmanship problem.

Surfaces

  • Lacquered, water-based, any RAL, to 95% gloss
  • Real wood veneer — oak, walnut, dark oak
  • CPL laminate where abrasion resistance matters more than a lacquered look
  • Melamine on the same carcass programmes
  • Colour matched to a supplied sample on request, with a reference panel retained

morbidelli cx100 — drilling a panel

— Boring & routing

Every hole, in one pass.

A room package is thousands of holes — hinge cups, shelf pins, dowels, cable ports, grooves for the backs. Whether a unit assembles cleanly on site is decided here, not at the bench.

The SCM morbidelli cx100 bores all five faces, grooves and routes without the part moving to another machine. SCM build it for batch-size-one work: each panel can differ from the last with no set-up penalty. That is what makes a non-standard width ordinary rather than a special.

morbidelli cx100
Panel range200–3,050 mm long · 70–900 wide · 10–60 thick
Boring12 vertical spindles, 4 on X, 2 on Y — five faces, one pass
Also cutsGrooves, vertical routing, edge rounding, toe-kick
OutputUp to 400 pieces per shift

Manufacturer’s published figures.

55 metres, fifteen stations, one pass

The surface process is a single continuous line rather than a series of separate operations with a wait between each: belt transport, sanding, dedusting, spray machine, laminar stack oven, turbulent drying, IR curing, UV 3D dryer, cooling tunnel and roller conveyor, under one line control.

A panel enters raw and leaves dry in roughly nine minutes. Coatings are Hesse Lignal, water-based throughout — low emission, and a system European specifiers already recognise.

04 Quality & compliance

How consistency is held across a programme.

Anyone can build one good unit. The question a buyer is actually asking is whether unit four hundred is the same as unit one, and whether the replacement ordered in year three still matches. Everything below exists to answer that.

One construction standard

Every category is built on the same carcass and edging standard, so quality does not vary by product line or by which team happened to build it.

PUR edging throughout

Polyurethane adhesive cross-links as it cures, so the glue line stops being water-soluble. It matters most where a joinery failure normally starts — bathrooms and kitchens.

Water-based coatings

Hesse Lignal systems throughout. Low emission, and a coating house European specifiers and their clients already know.

Colour, held on record

A reference panel is retained for every programme. Repeat and replacement orders are matched to the panel, not to a colour code and a memory.

Inspection at source

Defects found at assembly cost ten times what they cost at the machine that made them. Parts are checked where they are produced, before they carry any further value.

Piece-level traceability

Every part carries a barcode tying it to a project, a module and a position, from the machine that cut it through to the pallet it ships on.

Every piece is labelled at the machine that made it.

Each part carries a barcode encoding its project, its module, the piece number and how many pieces complete that module. Parts are scanned as they move and sorted into a numbered bin per module, so a module is only released for assembly when it is genuinely complete.

Certification, answered straight

We would rather answer this precisely than print a row of logos. At first enquiry we state in writing exactly which certifications and test reports we hold, which are in progress, and which we do not have — with the material declarations, formaldehyde class and coating data sheets for what we would supply you.

If your client requires something we do not currently hold, tell us early. Some of it is achievable inside a programme timeline and some is not, and you should have that answer before you commit to us rather than after.

Documentation we can supply

  • Material and board declarations for the substrate supplied
  • Coating system data sheets and safety data sheets
  • Hardware specification and manufacturer documentation
  • Packing lists by project, room and module
  • Colour reference panel retained per programme
  • Test reports and certificates as held — stated honestly at enquiry

Tell us what your client requires and we will state in writing what we hold, what is in progress and what we do not.

05 Delivery

Delivery on established road corridors.

Deliveries run with 3P, a logistics operator running established road corridors from Kosovo to Ljubljana and from Kosovo to Greece. The delivery leg is not handed to whichever haulier is cheapest that week.

Scheduled to your programme

Loads are planned against your installation dates. A package that arrives three weeks early is storage you pay for; one that arrives late stops a floor.

Consolidated

Every category for a project travels together rather than as separate consignments from separate suppliers on separate days.

Labelled to the room

Pallets and packages are labelled by project, room and module, so material is distributed on site instead of being opened and sorted first.

06 Why an external plant

Why buyers place volume with an external plant.

Capacity

Take a larger project than your own workshop can carry, without buying machinery for a peak you may not see again.

Landed cost

European production, European material standards, and a cost base that is not western European — on a road corridor we already run.

Consolidation

One supplier for every category in the room instead of four, which removes the mismatch that comes free with split sourcing.

Independence

A credible second source. Most procurement problems are single-supplier problems nobody solved before they became urgent.
