The Story

This was the second time Delux Bearing placed an order with us. They had previously used our packaging workstation for their packaging-related operations. Now, as their warehouse was undergoing expansion and renovation, they needed more similar workstations. Having been satisfied with our tables over the years, they reached out to us again.

The Warehouse Manager initiated the request for the product and provided valuable insights into the packaging requirements essential for their operations. This included details like the type of cartons, sizes of carton boxes, the number of labels and tapes needed, and how to store them properly. What they struggled with was choosing the right workbench for that, and that's where we stepped in.

He shared all the specific requirements and expressed a preference for a lean storage solution. We introduced our pack workbench series, tailored to meet all these packaging needs.

The Challenges

To start the selection process, we recommended our pre-configured products within the pack series. Configuring the products posed a challenge for them, so we assisted by creating SketchUp models. These models visually demonstrated how the products would look, helping them easily configure the suitable workbench for their needs.

Why they chose to work with Furnace

They decided to collaborate with us for the second time because they experienced a high return on investment (ROI) from our previous order. The trust that was built during that time made them stick with us and not consider any other vendor.
