Välinge has recently signed two major license agreements with leading world players in the furniture business for the use of the unique Threespine click furniture technology.
The patented Threespine technology, based on the well-proven Välinge 5G® locking system, allows very fast and easy assembly of furniture completely without using any tools. The technology locks corners, fronts and back panels or drawer bottoms with a simple click, creating never seen before rigid constructions.
Products produced under the recently signed licenses will reach the market in 2017 and are expected to make a significant impact in their respective segments.
”It is clear that the market has started to wake up regarding tool-less furnite assembly,” says Välinge CEO Niclas Håkansson. “This relates to flat packs as well as for rationalization of factory assembled products.”
To meet the increasing demand, Välinge is now making significant investments in both production equipment and personnel.
“We will have a new Homag furniture profiling line installed within the upcomings coming months that will complement our existing profiling machines and our CNC-machines,” Niclas Håkansson continues. “We have further developed new tongue inserter machines to be able to handle the new demands. We can now, by ourselves or through our partners, offer everything from handheld tongue inserters to in-line high-speed machines suitable for the fastest through-feed machines”.
