Case Study: eKitchens achieves smoother, higher-quality edgebanding with HOMAG EDGETEQ solutions

eKitchens boosts edgebanding with HOMAG’s S-500 and LOOPTEQ O-300

The customer, eKitchens, is a family-owned cabinet manufacturer in Perth, Australia, with a commitment to producing high-quality, locally-made products. Their challenge was to ensure a consistently clean edge finish on their components, a critical detail that affects the overall quality and feel of their cabinets, while also maintaining a steady and efficient workflow on their factory floor to meet delivery timelines.

The vendor, HOMAG, implemented a solution consisting of two edgebanding lines: an EDGETEQ S-380 and a newer EDGETEQ S-500 paired with a LOOPTEQ O-300 return system. This equipment from HOMAG provided a stable, high-quality finish with cleaner corners and tidier glue lines. The solution improved the workflow by creating a compact, efficient station that allowed one operator to maintain a comfortable pace, reducing handling and the potential for damage. This resulted in a more predictable production day, increased capacity, and helped eKitchens consistently deliver on their quality and timing commitments to builders and installers.
