Furniture group establishes leather competence centre in Poland
10/01/2017
The centre has eight of the latest generation of Versalis cutters from Lectra and 14 digitalisation stations and is, the two companies have said, “at the forefront of innovation in the upholstered furniture production market”.
Work can take place there round the clock and Polipol now has systems in place to take any step required to keep increasing the efficiency of its use of leather and improving the quality of its finished products.
Polipol said at the time of the announcement that this new set-up is allowing it to make “significant financial savings” in the face of “rapidly rising leather costs”. Specialists from Polipol and Lectra worked together to identify improvements and held a series of workshops to put new working methods into practice.
Under the new arrangements, nesting is taking place offline and a multi-hide nesting process is now separated from the hide flaw identification and cutting steps. Operators can work on parallel processes simultaneously making “huge time and material savings.”
