Based in Preston, SW Watson and Son supplies a wide range of products, including reception counters, tills, display panels, plinths and fixtures and fittings.
Recent investment in new equipment, in particular the Homag BAZ CNC stationary processor, has given the company the capability to manufacture batch or bespoke shaped components, especially items like desk tops for the office furniture sector.
SW Watson has also invested in a new Homag single-sided high speed edgebander with a Ligmatech ‘Boomerang’ panel return device for efficient one-man operation.
“With our latest investments, we undertook wide-ranging research but were satisfied that Homag Group engineering and performance gave us a superior, reliable and flexible capability,” said managing director Paul Watson.
This new capability has enabled the company to become the current nominated sole manufacturer for the Stâkm range of retail display products. These inter-locking panels can be built into a wide variety of designs, and require no fixtures or fittings.
“Precision is the key to manufacturing the MFC components and indeed edging them,” said Mr Watson, adding that the Homag BAZ’s WoodWop software has enabled this to take place.
The company’s new technical capability has given it an opportunity to become the sole manufacturer of the Stâkm range of products for retail display.
