Engineered Components for Furniture OEMs
Furniture components need to balance appearance, durability, function and cost while supporting efficient assembly and production. Deluxe Plastics & Manufacturing works with OEM engineering teams to develop components that meet performance requirements while improving manufacturability.
Our engineering-driven approach considers part design, material selection, tooling and production requirements early in the process. By identifying potential manufacturing challenges before production begins, we can help simplify part designs, improve consistency and identify opportunities to reduce overall manufacturing and assembly costs.
More Than Plastic Injection Molding
Furniture products often incorporate multiple materials and manufacturing processes. Deluxe provides access to plastic injection molding, metal fabrication and stamping, secondary operations and assembly through one manufacturing partner.
This integrated approach can be especially valuable for furniture OEMs sourcing multiple components for the same product or assembly. Instead of coordinating separate suppliers for molded and metal components, finishing and assembly, Deluxe can help develop a manufacturing solution around the requirements of the complete program.
Furniture Components and Applications
From structural components to appearance-critical parts, Deluxe supports a range of components used in furniture products and assemblies.
- Chair and seating components
- Bases, supports and structural components
- Handles and grips
- Knobs, caps and covers
- Glides, feet and protective components
- Housings and enclosures
- Metal brackets and supports
- Cable management components
- Decorative and appearance-critical components
- Plastic and metal assemblies
Designed for Appearance and Performance
Furniture components are often both functional and highly visible. Material, texture, color, surface finish and dimensional consistency can be just as important as structural performance.
Deluxe works with customers to evaluate materials and manufacturing processes based on the requirements of the application. Engineering and manufacturing teams can also evaluate opportunities to consolidate components, improve assembly or replace more complex designs with efficiently manufactured plastic or metal components.
From Production to Assembly
Manufacturing the component is only part of the program. Deluxe can support furniture OEMs with secondary operations, decorating, finishing, assembly, packaging and inventory management.
Bringing these services together can reduce supplier handoffs, simplify quality management and provide customers with components or assemblies that are ready for the next stage of production.
