investment
Dams Furniture is a UK manufacturer of Office Furniture and Soft Seating products. We have invested over £7m in the last five years in efficient production systems and machinery to support our UK quality manufacturing operations.
We have recently installed:
• A Pathfinder Fabric CNC machine with
advanced cutting technology which increases the quality of the finish cut prior to upholstery.
• Combination Edge Bander which edges multiple sides of our wood panels simultaneously.
• Homag Angular Panel Saw which cuts panels lengthwise and crosswise fully automatically delivering a high level of precision in continuous operation.
• In addition to this, in January 2022 we added a new 60,000 square foot extension to our warehouse and distribution centre which gives us an additional 5,000 pallet locations plus a dedicated goods in area.
Packaging
The Cardboard we use for packaging is 100% reusable with an 84% recycled content.
We operate a sustainable approach to Waste Packaging and are compliant with The Packaging Waste Regulations through our membership of Recycle–Pak. Returned packaging is assessed when it arrives back at the Factory, marked Green for Re-Use or Red for Recycling which ensures we get maximum use from our packaging.
We re-use cardboard attached to off-cuts of MFC as Corner Protection for our Desktops, Storage and Boardroom Tables.
We are an Upper Tier EA Waste Carrier, our Licence Reg. No: CBDU82920. This enables us to collect, move and repurpose or recycle product from our clients.
