Polish furniture firm says automated cutting has led to 5% saving
04/11/2016
An exporter of sofas to other European countries and to North America, DFM has been a user of Lectra technology since it opened for business in 2001. In response to a growing order book, the company expanded its operations at its Dobre Miasto headquarters in northern Poland last year and began producing furniture at the site. It built a 60,000 square-metre extension and has now upgraded existing machinery and fitted out its cutting-room entirely with Lectra technology, including two Versalis machines.
Chief executive, Roman Dariusz Kolakowski, has explained that until now DFM’s operators used a combination of manual and automated leather cutting but that it has switched to Versalis “to guarantee maximum
production efficiency” and to make “significant material savings”.
Since starting to use Versalis, DFM has found it is generating 5% less waste from its leather-cutting operation, a greater saving than it was anticipating.
