Since 2012, KWB London has grown to become a major player in the residential construction industry in the capital. With major contracts on the go for high-profile projects – including Battersea Power Station, Park View and Postmark London – the fast-growing business needed a reliable solution for maximum efficiency of goods arriving on site.
Securing a new project for the development of 247 apartments at Kew Bridge, Kevin Behan, managing director of KWB London Ltd. contacted his Häfele area sales manager to understand the benefits of its new ‘Häfele to Order’ service.
Enabling contractors and fitters to save time, cut costs and avoid mistakes by ordering products to exact size, quantity and finish specifications, Häfele to Order eliminates the delays and expense caused by product only being available in a limited range of options.
Kevin said: “Häfele to Order is a great service for the handling of long material, which we rely on for our projects. We were able to order Gola Profiling cut to our exact length requirements, which was packaged plot by plot for easy distribution when on site. It meant we were able to save time and money, all through improved efficiency.
“After using the service for this first order, we have already put in two further contracts for the cutting and packaging of Häfele’s Loox LED lighting. I would absolutely recommend Häfele to Order to any joinery firm. We already have a great working relationship with Häfele; it’s a fantastic company and this new service is another bonus that benefits our business.”
Whilst the service is particularly beneficial for those working with traditional ‘long’ items such as lighting strips, wardrobe rails and Gola handle profiles, Häfele to Order has opened the door to bespoke packing, assembling and labelling enquiries across a vast range of products.
There is no minimum order size and Häfele is encouraging customers to get in touch with any requirements - all requests will be considered. The ordering process is very easy; simply complete a form on the Häfele website, hafele.co.uk/hafele-to-order, or email hafeletoorder@hafele.co.uk for other requests.
