Case Study: Neville Johnson achieves record production with SCM edgebanding technology

Neville Johnson achieves record production outputs in 12 months with SCM

Neville Johnson, a manufacturer of high-quality bespoke furniture, faced a significant production bottleneck and reliability issues with its aging edgebanders. The challenge was to replace this machinery without disrupting their tight production schedule, while also drastically reducing changeover times and increasing flexibility. Factory Manager Mick Coulthard required absolute reliability and robust service backup from the vendor, SCM.

SCM implemented a solution by supplying and installing two Stefani XD edgebanders. The machines were chosen for their build quality, ease of use, and features like fast changeover and a panel return system. The installation was completed on time and within budget, with thorough operator training provided by SCM. As a result, Neville Johnson achieved record production outputs without increasing overtime, eliminating the bottleneck and allowing the factory to operate at a new, sustainable level of efficiency.
