Rosecourt Moves Forward with Homag

Started just over nine months ago by Len Iisak and his partners, Rosecourt Furniture has made rapid progress supplying quality designs to the kitchen and bedroom sectors as well as the burgeoning home office/study market.

Originally the company’s modern Wigan workshops were equipped with second hand classical machinery but demand for Rosecourt’s products and services grew so fast that Len knew he was going to have to radically upgrade his production facility.

With well over 25 years of experience in cabinet furniture production, Len relied on one of his oldest and most trusted contacts in machinery supply - Jim Cox who is now one of Homag's most successful area sales managers in the north west of England.

Jim was able to evaluate Rosecourt's position and requirements astutely and, in May last year, called Len from the Homag stand at Ligna in Hanover and told him that exactly the machine to suit Rosecourt had just been launched at the show. It was the high specification, entry level Weeke Venture 0.5 CNC machining centre.

‘I knew all about Homag engineering and quality,’ explains Len, ‘and in Jim Cox I had a person in whose professionalism and technical knowledge I could trust implicitly.’

Rosecourt ordered the Weeke sight unseen and it was installed four weeks after the exhibition. Following which, again with the assistance of Jim Cox, Homag UK delivered a Brandt KDN210 compact single-sided edgebander with a 3mm capability.

The Weeke Venture 0.5 is a new machine following the Homag Group policy of making the highest level of technology available to the widest possible entry level base. This machine puts Rosecourt immediately on a seriously competitive footing with bigger competitors - as does the very high specification Brandt KDN210 edgebander which is also an affordable entry level machine.

‘Because we operate a totally bespoke service both to retailers, private customers and the trade, the flexibility of the Weeke Venture machines was absolutely essential and has transformed our production capability and our capacity problems,’ explains Len.

Len attended a 2-day training course on the Woodwop operating software for the machine at Homag UK's Castle Donington headquarters. ‘This software is amazing’ he says, ‘so easy to use and so flexible.’

Likewise the finish, quality and speed that Rosecourt is achieving with the Brandt KDN210 with totally automatic in-line unit setting, is crucial in maintaining the company’s reputation for exceptional quality.

‘When we found ourselves in a position to buy new machinery we took it straight away,’ says Len. ‘With a worldwide group of Homag's experience we knew we didn't need to look anywhere else and the added bonus of the company’s superb engineering and back-up service here in the UK made our decision even easier.’

With growth some 30 - 35% higher than originally forecast Rosecourt is now well equipped to deliver a quality product and service to an ever widening range of customers.
