Engineering for a better future
Mechanical components that form part of a prestigious wardrobe range have been re-engineered by component supplier Blue Diamond Technologies.
Britannia Wardrobes supplies sliding wardrobe systems and door components such as tracking, and had been a customer of Blue Diamond for a number of years as a source of roller bearings. In order to streamline supply and control costs, Britannia asked BD to rationalise further areas of their supply chain. Rather than supplying like for like components, BD engineers evaluated and re-engineered many components to ensure that they were not over-engineered and were suited for production by the most cost-efficient methods.
Britannia Wardrobes md Ray Wilson said: “We soon recognised the added value Blue Diamond engineers were bringing to our components in terms of their functionality and appearance. As the relationship developed we moved on to redesigning more complex assemblies.”
Components now being supplied by Blue Diamond include moulded supports and brackets, shoe rack arms, and roller assemblies for the sliding doors. BD also arranges order scheduling, packaging and stockholding of products as required.
