Edging Supplies – an experienced team supplying the furniture market

Edging Supplies was formed in July 2018 by Kal Sandhu and Derrick Gray. Based in Malvern, Worcestershire, the company was set up to supply the furniture manufacturing industry with edgebanding and ancillary products. With over 25 years’ involvement in this market, and a good customer base built up over many years, Kal and Derrick were well placed to set themselves up – so long as they had a good supplier base behind them ...

Edging Supplies’ chief supply partner is TECE, based in Turkey. TECE was established in 1987 and is now a major producer and supplier of edgebanding worldwide, and has supported the company since its conception. It is suppliers like TECE and many more that allow Edging Supplies to provide service and support to its customer base. “Our ethos of quality, service and reliability is closely aligned with our suppliers in this everdemanding world,” says Kal.

“Edging Supplies has a comprehensive range of edgebandings and ancillary products which we stock at our warehouse in Malvern. There are over 400 product lines, comprising two million+ metres of edgebanding, all available on a nextday delivery.”

“The pallet carrier and parcel carrier the company uses delivers the service our customers need to keep their production running smoothly – this in turn gives the end-customer the product they want in the timeframe agreed.”

Customer orders can be taken by phone, email, WhatsApp messaging, and via the website as an enquiry. If received prior to the carrier collection times, the orders will be dispatched on a nextday service. Deliveries can be arranged on a timed delivery or the standard next-day service. For special colours, Edging Supplies can match from a extensive selection held in the office, or arrange a colour match directly from TECE. This can be done within two weeks, with production and delivery being about four weeks from order. Edging Supplies holds a range of products, from ABS, PVC, melamine and veneer edgebandings, to ancillary products such as self-adhesive cover caps, repair waxes, edgebander adhesives and panel cleaners.

“We are committed to working closely with our customers, so as to customise their individual needs regarding the range of products and sizes,” says Derrick, “and specific stockholding to ensure reliable continuity of supply – even as customer usage fluctuates due to seasonal variations or trend changes in the market in general. It is our belief that our business must be proactive to meet both the customers’ needs, and what is happening in the market as a whole – staying one step ahead is crucial to the future of the business.

In a recent update from Edging Supplies, as from the March 2023 the company has increased its warehouse space from 4500 sq ft to 11500 sq ft to meet current demands and for future growth over the next few years.

“We have also extended our edging range to include 26 Saviola colours,” says Kal, “and more recently, 40 new décors launched earlier this year by Kronospan – all of these are available on a next day delivery service. Our plans are to extend our range of edgings by a further 20% by the end of this year,” concluded Kal.

A bespoke joinery manufacturer in Norfolk has purchased a new wood waste heater from Wood Waste Technology to save money on waste disposal and heating.

Wentwood Kitchens in Attleborough is a family run, independent bespoke kitchen manufacturer, working with private clients, interior designers and architects.

Joe Went, Managing Director at Wentwood Kitchens started to investigate the purchase of a wood waste heater when the business expanded its workshop, doubling the space from 200 to 400 sq. metres, and giving the space to create a separate machine shop area alongside a dedicated assembly area.

Wentwood Kitchens was spending between £300 and £500 a month on skips to remove waste wood, including MDF and chipboard waste that was being generated from the manufacturing process. Meanwhile, the company was paying to run electric heaters to warm the workshop when the weather turned colder.

Joe realised that purchasing a wood waste heater could save the company money on waste disposal, whilst providing free heating to the building. He contacted Kurt Cockroft at Wood Waste Technology about wood waste burner options, then purchased a WT5 for the company to burn the chipboard, MDF, hardwood and softwood off-cuts.

The heater was installed into Wentwood Kitchens workshop by Wood Waste Technology’s experienced engineers. Some of the heat from the wood waste burner was vented into the showroom, to help keep that space warm too. Wentwood Kitchens took advantage of the heat dump option, to allow the wood waste heater to be used throughout the year, by sending the heat to atmosphere in the summer months.

Joe says: “If you run a manufacturing business that generates wood waste, this is an easy decision to make. I’m so glad we ordered one, and actually wish we’d invested in one sooner! The heater keeps both workshops and the showroom nice and warm, and we’re saving money on waste disposal and heating bills. The whole process has been hassle-free, from getting a quote to the installation and delivery, and the service has been second to none. We would highly recommend the team and heaters at Wood Waste Technology.”

Kurt Cockroft says: “Whatever the primary reason for purchase – heat or waste disposal, a wood waste heater is a cost effective and productive solution for companies that generate waste wood, and some companies get payback on the investment in less than 12 months.”

Wood Waste Technology’s years of expertise in wood waste solutions have helped many companies reduce their waste disposal and heating costs. As well as offering site survey, design, manufacture, installation and on-going maintenance for new units, the company also services all types of wood waste heaters and supplies genuine spares up to 60% cheaper than other suppliers.

In addition, Wood Waste Technology is the UK official distributor for Gross Apparatebau GmbH, a German manufacturer of dependable, precision engineered shredders and briquetters, available in various size and specifications to suit all business applications.
