Case Study: Glicerio Chaves Hornero boosts flexible bedroom furniture production with SCM

Glicerio Chaves Hornero boosts production with SCM for 7,000 rooms a year

Glicerio Chaves Hornero, a leading Spanish manufacturer of youthful and dynamic bedroom furniture, faced the challenge of meeting a high demand for both large batches and custom-made, single-piece orders. To remain competitive, the company required fast, versatile, and flexible machinery with a large production capacity. They turned to vendor SCM for a solution, which included the Stefani "Tandem" line for applying edging to panels.

SCM implemented its flexible manufacturing technology, including multiple Stefani "Tandem" lines and over 20 SCM CNC drilling and boring machines. This solution allowed Glicerio Chaves Hornero to efficiently produce batches consisting of just one piece with different colors and measurements, adding significant value by ensuring pieces are perfectly square for easy assembly. The results included a greatly enhanced competitive position and the ability to handle special orders that make up 20% of their business, supporting the company's constant growth to a yearly turnover of over 50 million Euro.
