Platform about design and technology in the kitchen, home, and bathroom industry
REHAU has been supporting furniture manufacturers and interior designers for over 50 years with RAUKANTEX edgebanding, offering them the right edgebanding solutions for all their projects. Professionals can choose from a wide range of services offered by REHAU to make the process of selecting and ordering edgebanding easier and more convenient. To offer even greater reliability, quality, and speed, REHAU is expanding its service and logistics center in Visbek, Lower Saxony, with the large-scale project “Fibrin II“, a project that is now a reality as its construction was completed in the course of 2022.
The capacity of the new warehouse, which is now fully automated, has been significantly increased thanks to a major investment in technology. Additional “service counters” further expand the range of products and services. And thanks to the digital integration of production and logistics at the same location, customers benefit from faster availability, more storage space, and greater speed throughout the entire production, order picking, and service chain. In short, all orders for standard items are immediately prepared and shipped from the fully automated high-bay warehouse on the same day the order is placed.
A service that saves customers money because they no longer need to store items themselves.
“Thanks to its expansion concept, which includes automation, digitization of these processes, and state-of-the-art transport systems, REHAU has further expanded its capacity for the furniture edging program. This investment once again broadens our capabilities, enabling us to support our partners and customers even more efficiently from our service center in Visbek, throughout Europe, from the interior designer in Lisbon to the furniture maker in Helsinki.“ says Thomas Ponater, sales director of the furniture division at REHAU.
The new logistics center also makes an important contribution to sustainable development: thanks to optimized processes, the volume of truck transport is significantly reduced., saving approximately 62.5 tons of CO2 emissions per year.
With 2,400 colors and designs in over 200,000 different variations, the standard RAUKANTEX edging range 100% can be used with the board and laminate collections of all leading manufacturers worldwide. With this enormous variety of options, REHAU delivers on its promise: “The perfect edging tape for every RAND“.
In addition, the company offers its users a range of useful services, including innovative tools, online configurators, comprehensive advice, and technical support, to make their daily work easier. The online services make the work of professionals in the sector a lot easier. One of the online services is the practical and up-to-date “edge banding search engine,” which allows you to find the perfect match between the edge banding and the panel you are looking for in a few simple steps. The free RAUKANTEX SAMPLE service, which is designed to resolve any discrepancies between the colors and decors of the samples shown, is also available on this Portal. In short, REHAU, an international benchmark for the processing of polymer materials, continues to evolve and develop in order to achieve the highest level of quality and the most efficient service for its customers, making the company the most competitive partner on the market in the furniture industry.
