Why we are different

Control of Manufacturing Components

Control of key manufacturing components including glass plant and sawmill mean we are less prone to be affected by supply chain issues in the marketplace. Being vertically integrated in these 2 key areas result in more control of planning and component sourcing which result in more consistent and accurate lead times which are shorter than many competitors.

Automated Spray Painting

Two automated paint spray booths with integrated drying chambers operate. These ensure film thicknesses are consistent across all parts of the product. In addition manual checking is carried on every batch of products to ensure optimum paint build thicknesses.

Heavy investments in IT systems

Heavy investments in IT systems retain control of all purchasing and manufacturing processes. Systems are linked to cutting machines in sawmills, glazing production and all key machinery associated with joinery preparation. The Bereco factory is one of the most advanced in Europe and includes laser guided cutting machines all linked through underground cabling. Machinery as a result operates with minimum operator involvement. Faster production, less errors and control of parts are all critical to effective planning and producing large volumes of quality bespoke joinery every day.

Sanding Process

The sanding process is often an area where short cuts are made. At our factory there is a 3 stage sanding process to ensure the smoothest of finishes on all products. • Products are initially dipped in water to raise grain. Taking the raised grain off at this stage means that it is less likely to raise at any time in the future. • After the first basecoat dip sanding is done on both sanding machinery and by hand • After the first top coat, again products are sanded ready to receive its final top coat pass.

Environmentally Friendly

The plant is one of the most environmentally friendly factories producing joinery. Extraction facilities for off cuts and sawdust are taken automatically from all machines to a hopper which is then used to produce heating and electricity for the plant.

Packing

Once products have been glazed and checked all windows are then washed prior to packaging. All products are packaged individually in bags and cardboard before being palletised to our specially designed timber pallets.

Accompanying Items

In all deliveries, products are supplied with job referenced boxes which include any parts, such as vents and handles plus their associated screws and caps. Importantly Bereco are the only supplier whom as standard supply a small touch up put of paint FOC. In the event any knocks or scrapes happen during installation then importantly these can be quickly rectified by having this supplied as part of the product delivery.
