Business idea - Production of furniture from natural wood. We travel around the world! Estimate for a mini workshop for the production of furniture panels

Furniture business – great choice for the start of a young entrepreneur. People always buy furniture, regardless of the season and weather. Even a crisis will not change anything in your business, except that it will reduce the class of furniture from elite to classic. Therefore, open a furniture workshop – a good and promising idea that will surely bring you excellent profits.

Studying the market

Furniture production can be divided into three main areas:

Classic release office furniture(cabinets, partitions, cabinets, tables). The main emphasis is on functionality and strict appearance.
Production of kitchens and furniture. The kitchen is the face of the home, it is here that people spend most of their free time, so it should be equipped with comfortable and quality furniture. Every year the demand for kitchen sets is growing by an average of 15%.
Production of furniture to order. This is the most promising type of business. Furniture is created depending on the client's requirements, according to individual sizes and drawings.

Starting a furniture business is not difficult - a minimal investment is enough

Note: in metropolitan areas you will face serious competition, so this business it's best to start at small towns, or enter the market with an original and promising offer.

Be sure to find out if there are similar furniture manufacturing workshops in your city, what services they offer, what real terms furniture manufacturing and price range of your competitors. Think about what you can do better to win over customers.

Premises requirement

To organize a full-fledged factory, you need three full-size premises. This:

Furniture production workshop. Its area must be at least 100 m2.
Office. Managers will work here, concluding contracts for the purchase of raw materials and accessories, as well as for the sale of finished products. Often the office has a small exhibition stand with samples of materials and furniture, or even a small shop.
Stock. This room will be used for storing material and finished products. It should be spacious (about 70-100 square meters) and dry.

These premises may be located in the same building or scattered throughout the city. For example, the workshop itself will be located on the outskirts, and the office with samples will be in the city center or in a convenient location. This will significantly increase the number of possible clients. The warehouse can also be located on the outskirts of the factory. This will allow you to reduce rental prices several times and avoid complaints from residents about the constant noise from cutting material.

The premises for furniture production should be spacious

Purchase of necessary equipment

Start production upholstered furniture As a business, you should have enough money to purchase the appropriate equipment. You can, of course, cooperate with other workshops for cutting furniture sheets, but this will significantly increase the lead time for orders and the cost of finished products, which will reduce all your competitive advantages to no. Therefore, it is definitely necessary to buy machines. To save money, you can buy used equipment - its price can be 30-50% lower than that of new one. But you need to have a good understanding of the machines so as not to buy ones that have already been written off.

Staff

A lot in the furniture business depends on the staff. To build a furniture business from scratch, you need skilled and responsible workers who will accompany the product at all stages from design to sale and installation to customers. You will definitely need:

A manager who will be responsible for accepting orders, drawing up contracts for the supply of necessary fittings and materials, and providing project support.
Director of operations. The responsibilities of this person include control over every stage of furniture production. This is a foreman who monitors the workers, organizes their work and accepts ready-made orders.
Workers. For a small workshop, 3-4 people are enough; for a medium one, up to 8 specialists may be needed. Their responsibilities include the entire cycle of work on the production of furniture from raw materials.
Driver. This person will be responsible for delivering furniture to customers from the warehouse. Also ensures the delivery of necessary materials.

Qualified personnel are the basis of your business

This is the minimum possible staff for operating a mini-factory that produces furniture. You can play the role of manager and accountant in the first stages - there is nothing difficult about it. If you don’t want to waste time, you can hire people, but this will reduce the payback period due to salaries.

Marketing

You can start creating a marketing plan even before you open. The purpose of this plan is proper organization various events to sell the maximum possible quantity of finished products. How to sell furniture correctly?

Open an exhibition center or mini-shop in your office.
Conclude an agreement with furniture stores and offer products for sale to them.
Start working with tenders created by budgetary organizations. Very often, schools, kindergartens, hospitals and various municipal institutions become regular clients, bringing in serious money.
Interest several large private clients. These could be banks that periodically open new branches, various offices, etc.
Create your own website on which you need to post detailed information about the furniture, telephone numbers for contact and a detailed price list.
Create groups in in social networks and support them.
Launch classic advertising: banners, leaflets, banners, signs, billboards.
Advertising in the media: radio, TV, newspapers, magazines.

How much money do you need to open?

It is impossible to accurately calculate how much money is needed to start furniture production as a business from scratch without knowing the specifics of your region: everything greatly depends on the level of rent, the chosen work profile, the number of workers and equipment. We will provide national average prices, which will be fair in almost 80% of cases.

Purchasing premises for running a business will cost approximately 1 million rubles. If you rent a building, you will spend about 50-70 thousand a month, that is, it is still more profitable to buy a building.
Purchase of equipment for the factory, its delivery and installation – 600,000.
Repair of the building, paperwork – 300,000.
Consumables – 250,000.

Never skimp on fittings and tools

Now let's count fixed costs. These will include:

Payment for public utilities – 30 000.
Salary – 180,000.
Fixed costs for maintaining the website, social networks, advertising and marketing – 20,000.
Other expenses, incl. and taxes - 30,000.

A publication for those who are considering the feasibility of running this business. The article may also be of interest to those who have already chosen this path and make custom-made furniture from wood.

I have been working in the furniture industry since 2003 and have been working on custom-made furniture all the time. Worked in all working positions of this business model. Measured, assembled, produced, assembled furniture. I even swept the workshops. In general, things were business as usual, but everything has changed dramatically since 2009.

Around 2009, I began to be fascinated by wooden furniture. Literally everything interested me. Design issues, craft technologies, philosophical questions like “what is all this effort for?”, “why is it so expensive” and so on... In general, this absorbed me completely. On September 1, 2010, he launched his carpentry shop and by the end of 2012 had accumulated over 1,000 hours of manufacturing experience. Moreover, I have always been and continue to be interested in how things are going with my colleagues working with wood in Russia, Ukraine and even in the USA.

It seems like the wood theme is not that long ago, but there is something to be said about it. And not only based on my experience. To a greater extent, this is the experience of colleagues in the shop.

kitchen in loft style, built to order

Many colleagues, even the best among us, even those working in one of richest countries world (USA), we constantly have to face the same problems. One of them is business profitability.

Let's look at some assumptions about you...

Perhaps you view this business as exclusively a source of good income. Perhaps you don’t want to solve all sorts of different issues. For example, such as selection and service suitable premises; selection and motivation of employees; personnel training and certification; selection quality wood And paint and varnish materials; selection, purchase and maintenance of expensive equipment and tools; search, study and implementation of carpentry and painting technologies; search, study and implementation of technologies for managing sales, processes, people, etc., etc.... By the way, all these issues when focusing a business on the full cycle of manufacturing custom-made wooden furniture will require a more careful attitude than for the usual assembly production of custom-made furniture.

One of my observations is noteworthy here. Once there was a case... one master on the professional forum “craftsman” in his status had the following inscription “if you want to go broke, open a carpentry shop.” Interesting, isn't it?

library, built to order

In the described case (I want a source of income), you will most likely abandon this whole craft business without even going halfway. Do you need it? Okay... don't be upset, because there is always a way out. For you, then, the best way to conduct such a business is to conduct it in a somewhat truncated form. It is better to take charge of sales issues, and you can also engage in furniture design. It is better to entrust the production processes to a carefully selected artisan. The key issue with this approach will be the selection of an artisan partner. You can't go wrong with such a decision. It is worth noting that ideal partners You most likely won't find it at all. Well... so that they meet all your wishes. Therefore, first understand what you want from such an artisan partner in principle and then break down your requirements by priority (1st, 2nd, 3rd and so on...). The question of choosing a partner is not a question of reviewing 2-3 people, but a question of considering 20-30 candidates. Not less. This recommendation can save you a lot of time and money, and also build more the easy way profitable business.

And also... You are probably wondering where my conclusion comes from that there are no ideal craftsmen? Yes, I need to clarify... This is just from my experience of observing colleagues and communicating with designers. The designers' explanations regarding the artisans are a litmus test for the market situation. If you don’t believe me, go to the nearest design studio and conduct a survey of the artisans known to you and them. You will sometimes hear very unflattering comments about those whom you considered industry leaders. In other cases, you will hear praise for those artisans who were complete suckers to you in the first place. You can check this.

It’s another matter if you are a model of fanaticism and consider your activity not only as a source of income, but elevate the craft to your lifestyle.

In this case (a fan of your craft), all processes associated with the manufacture of furniture from wood will most likely be subordinate to you. There is a high probability that you will overcome all the difficulties associated with organizing craft affairs. After all, you imagine yourself as a real warrior on the warpath, armed with thermonuclear bombs, laser blasters and other super powerful arsenal. And you know that we will not win. But I ask you then, do not forget about the technologies of marketing, sales and product development. Yes, yes, yes... This all also needs to be known. This is a rake that even the best of us have stepped on, are stepping on, and will always step on. I'm not an exception. Study them and implement them in your favorite business. Then the business will definitely become profitable. The opposite perspective (no profit) is possible even when using these technologies. There are too many variables in any business. But it is not the use of marketing, sales and product development technologies that guarantees the opposite perspective.

However, I would like to add some tasty seasoning here according to my own recipe. This seasoning will help you more easily and quickly experience the discoveries that await you.

Here is my seasoning and its ingredients...

there are an extremely small number of people in the world who truly understand the true value of custom-made custom wood furniture;
the majority are not able to objectively evaluate all your efforts;
it's not because people are bad;
It’s just that people can’t understand everything;
this myth is extremely powerful and can turn the weakest into Don Quixote;
this myth is not supported by people;
this myth is supported by the enormous capital invested in the production of mass commercial furniture;
even if people producing mass furniture want to change something in their approach to work, most of them will not be able to change anything, since they depend on the mass consumer and invested capital, which does not accept the risk of loss;
the traditional craft of working with wood remains a complex phenomenon (a mystery) for most modern people to understand;
we must understand that many people do not even understand what they eat;
- a small number of people who understand your approach to the craft, provided your capabilities meet their expectations, can easily place an order with you even with your more high price than from manufacturers of mass furniture;
we need to learn marketing - to find and snatch those unique ones from the minority;
contacts with special people from a minority are the key to getting sales and specific orders;
in the battle for clients, all competitors and enemies are for you;
the consciousness of most people can and should be changed, although this is a long process;
changing people's consciousness (education, insight) is a guarantee that you will easily and always have a sufficient number of orders;
people's consciousness is a field of ruthless war that will never end;
on this battlefield you need to act tough and beat the enemy “to death”;
on this battlefield there are not only enemies, but also allies;
on the battlefield, the one who does the same as you, professes the same as you - is your ally, not your enemy;
on the battlefield, someone who is even friendly, but does something different from you and professes different values, is your enemy, not your ally;
actions carried out jointly with allies are more effective;
Don't focus on just one craft.

I think that one of the artisans will hear me and this will be another small victory.

Furniture from natural wood will never lose its relevance. The demand for wooden furniture shows stable growth from year to year, despite the fact that a lot of furniture made from alternative materials (glass, plastic, metal) appears. The main reasons for this are high environmental friendliness, the absence of toxic impurities, moreover, wood carries positive energy and warmth.

Assortment of natural wood products

Wood is the best raw material for making furniture for the kitchen and children's room.
That is why a properly organized business for the production of wood goods will always find its client. The list of products that can be made from wood is very diverse:

Tables;
Chairs;
Furniture for restaurants and bars;
Gazebos and garden furniture;
Doors and wall panels;
Sofas and armchairs for offices;
Cabinet furniture;
Kitchen sets;
Playgrounds;
Gaming tables (billiards, poker);
etc.

Which taxation system to choose for a wood furniture manufacturing business?

The organizational and legal form of an enterprise for the production of wooden furniture can be either an ordinary individual entrepreneurship or a limited liability company. For small workshops, on initial stage An ordinary individual entrepreneur is quite suitable, since registering this activity (as well as closing it) is many times easier and cheaper than opening a legal entity (LLC). But individual entrepreneurs cannot create their own branches, large firms are not so willing to work with them, and entrepreneurs have a greater risk of losing personal property (in case of lawsuits) than legal entities(who only risk the property of the LLC).

Therefore, with the consolidation of a business, registering an LLC promises a lot of advantages. As a taxation system, the most optimal is the simplified taxation system - simplified tax system, 6% of revenue or 15% of profit. Application of the simplified tax system exempts an enterprise from paying income tax, property tax and VAT. Switch to this special. the regime is implemented immediately at the time of business registration based on notification.

What is the OKVED code for a business producing furniture made of wood?

When registering a business, you must indicate the OKVED code in the application. For production and sales wooden furniture The following codes will work:

36.12 Production of furniture for offices and trade enterprises;
36.13 Production kitchen furniture;
36.14 Manufacture of other furniture
51.47.11 Wholesale trade household furniture;
52.44.1 Retail furniture;
52.44.5 Retail sale of wood, cork and wickerwork;
52.61.2 Retail trade carried out directly through television, radio, telephone and the Internet.

If you are opening an individual business, then in the application you should indicate all the OKVED codes under which you plan to work (you can at least 30, it won’t be too much). If you are registering an LLC, you can indicate only one code, since the charter of the LLC will state that the Company can engage in any type of activity that does not contradict the law. As for the license. Mandatory licensing and certification of manufactured furniture is not established by law. But, some enterprises voluntarily issue quality certificates for their products (to increase sales). In this case, compliance with such norms and standards as:

GOST 16371-93 “Furniture. General technical conditions";
GOST 28793-90. Furniture. Tables. Definition of sustainability
GOST 28777-90. Furniture. Test methods for children's beds
GOST R 50051-92. Furniture. Chairs. Definition of sustainability
GOST 19917-93 “Furniture for sitting and lying down. General technical conditions";
GOST 19194-73 “Furniture. Method for determining the fastening strength of furniture legs";
GOST R 54208-2010 “Protective and decorative coatings on furniture made of wood and wood materials. Classification and designations."
GOST 13715-78 “Joiner slabs. Specifications»;
GOST 30255-95. Furniture, wood and polymer materials.

What equipment to choose for the production of furniture from natural wood

For organization furniture production full cycle you will need to purchase: a thickness planer, a jointing machine, a drilling and grooving machine, a circular saw for cutting wide boards, a milling machine, a grinding machine, a turning and milling copying machine, a paint gun, a drilling and filler machine, an edge banding machine, etc. auxiliary equipment. The main supplier of equipment is China and Taiwan.

How much money do you need to start a business producing furniture made of natural wood?

The estimated costs for the purchase of equipment for organizing the production of full-cycle wooden furniture are 700 - 1000 thousand rubles (including auxiliary equipment).

Raw materials used for furniture production

For the manufacture of wooden furniture, ready-made furniture panels or edged solid boards are used. The most popular types of wood are: pine, oak, beech, hornbeam, alder, birch, larch. Sawn and dried boards are purchased from forestries, forestry enterprises and private companies.

One m3 edged boards made from pine will cost about 6500-7500 rubles. Special attention in production should be given paint coating. Varnish protects wood from external influences, increases resistance to moisture, thereby increasing the service life of furniture. To achieve the best result, the wood is varnished at least three times, thoroughly drying after each application.

Expert tips for creating natural wood furniture

Step-by-step plan for starting a business producing wood products

Organization room size furniture business directly depends on the planned production volume. If we are talking about a full production cycle (and not a “garage version”), then the following departments must be present:

Production workshop - the place where woodworking machines and other equipment will be located;
Assembly shop - a place where wooden furniture is assembled from pre-prepared parts;
Paint shop - a room for carrying out paint and varnish work;
Dryer or drying chamber;
Finished products warehouse/raw materials warehouse;
Production staff room;
Lavatory, shower;
Accommodation for administrative staff and sales managers.

Requirements to production premises are standard and require heating, water supply, ventilation, a 3-phase network, and a fire safety system.

Technology of production and manufacture of wooden furniture

The full production cycle of wooden furniture includes the following stages: Stage 1. Preparation of a working sketch. At this stage, technologists develop three-dimensional models and working drawings of the future product.

Stage 2. Preparation of wood for production. At this stage, the type of wood is selected, as well as the solid wood is dried for 10 days until its humidity drops to 80% of the original values.

Stage 3. Dissolving furniture panels using a multi-saw machine. At this stage, the bark is removed and the board is cut into specified sizes.

Stage 4. The cross cutting machine removes knots, resin pockets, crooked areas and other defects.

Stage 5. Merging the bars along the length - preparing the lamellas. Wooden blanks are laid out on the table, aligned along the edge and pressed with a press from above and on the sides. Once the programmed length is reached, the lamellas are cut and sent to the press.

Stage 6. Gluing lamellas. The lamellas are sanded on both sides and glued together using a fan press, taking into account the guide fibers. The gluing time is 40-50 minutes.

Stage 7. Shield Formation the right size using a belt dividing machine.

Stage 8. Planing the lamella on both sides on a thickness planer.

Stage 9. Sawing furniture panels to the required thickness using a calibrating grinding machine.

Stage 10. To create additional strength, solid wood is finished with veneer.

Stage 11. Reaming mounting holes on a drilling and attachment machine. Production individual parts furniture production is carried out on automated machines according to specified parameters. Such machines make all the necessary cuts, cuts and veneer edges.

Stage 12. Finished products are subject to inspection for defects and defects.

Stage 13. All parts are sanded 3 times to give the product perfect smoothness.

Stage 14. Varnishing and painting furniture in accordance with the specified design.

Stage 15. Drying of the product.

Stage 16. Packaging of the product and sending it to the finished product warehouse. In addition to the full cycle, there is also a short production cycle. This is when the raw materials for the production of wood products are ready-made dried panels, which are sanded, sawn into certain parts, assembled and varnished.

Staff The required staff of even a small wooden furniture production enterprise includes:

constructor-designer;
technologist;
carpenters-machine operators (from 4 people);
carvers;
auxiliary workers (from 2 people);
Sales Manager.

The company will also need an accountant, a cleaner, a personnel officer and a lawyer. However, most small businesses, for the purpose of reasonable savings, outsource these workers. It is not profitable to employ such employees full-time when production volumes are small. conclusions Organizing the full cycle production of wooden furniture is a very complex matter. The project manager has to solve such important issues as: selection of qualified personnel, motivation of personnel, selection of high-quality wood and paints and varnishes, purchase of expensive equipment and tools, study and implementation of carpentry technologies, regular retraining of production personnel, management of sales, processes, people and much more. It is for this reason that many inexperienced beginners in this field will face inevitable collapse. According to some market players, the best way study the industry with minimal risk - organize the business in a somewhat “truncated form.” For example, you can only design furniture, but production processes entrust it to an experienced craftsman. The key task of organizing a business will be to find a responsible and competent partner.

The business plan we presented for the production of cabinet furniture with calculations will help to effectively solve the following problems:

Selecting the right one for furniture workshop premises.
Registering a business with the tax service.
Search and hiring of workers for production.
Purchase necessary equipment and tools for making furniture.
Starting work.

Over time, the workshop will grow and expand, increasing the product line and entering new ways of selling products.

It is important from the very beginning, even before implementing the business plan, to choose the most suitable format of work. There can be three areas of activity:

Full production cycle. The company itself produces the material from which it then produces finished furniture products. This method is the most expensive.
Average cycle. The workshop does not make the material itself, but purchases ready-made raw materials: MDF, fiberboard and chipboard. All this is cut out and then turned into finished items.
Short cycle. Here the company purchases ready-cut materials from suppliers, from which it only needs to assemble furniture. This is the simplest and inexpensive option, which is suitable for budding entrepreneurs.

For our business plan, we will choose a short cycle as the most easily implemented and does not require large financial costs. Thus, our workshop will operate according to specific individual orders, and it will need to be equipped with a minimum set of equipment. When we are able to expand our customer base, we will add other cycles and increase production.

We will sell furniture through the following channels:

Formation of applications through the office, which will have a showroom.
Cooperation with intermediaries ( furniture stores, design studio).
Creating your own wholesale online store and its promotion.

The work involves collaboration with transport companies, so you need to conclude agreements with them.

Search for premises

The room for this business must be large because the equipment takes up a lot of space. 200 square meters is quite suitable if we are talking about an incomplete production cycle. Moreover, it is assumed that the premises will be divided into separate zones. The production area will occupy 150 square meters. Machines will be installed here and people will work.

A warehouse for finished products and a place for raw materials is provided. Another 50 sq. m will be needed to organize a small office with a showroom. IN office space the designer and the director will sit. The premises should have the potential to expand in a year to 300 sq. m. m. This should be agreed upon in advance with the landlord. The following requirements must be put forward for the premises:

Industrial premises, non-residential, best located in the industrial zone of the city.
Access roads for freight transport.
The presence of two entrances, one to the workshop, and the second to the office space.
Electricity by three-phase circuit(380 V).
Absence high humidity, since the material is very sensitive to dampness.

As for the rent, you need to expect a cost of about 50 thousand rubles per month. First, landlords will require payment for 2 months in advance - it turns out that you will need 100 thousand rubles.

Registration

For a workshop that produces cabinet furniture in a short cycle, registration as an individual entrepreneur is suitable. It’s simpler, just go to the local branch of the Federal Tax Service of Russia and bring there your passport and application for business registration. You also need to indicate the correct OKVED codes so that the tax service knows which direction you have chosen for yourself.

You should study the 31 points of the classifier and select it entirely or focus on those positions that you plan to produce.

Equipment purchase

To start short-cycle production, you will need the following equipment:

Thus, the purchase of equipment will cost 360 thousand rubles. This minimum set, which we will expand over time to reach full-cycle production. It is better not to purchase used equipment because it may require expensive repair work and stop production, which should not be allowed so as not to immediately lose the first customers.

You will also need to purchase a Gazelle-Business class vehicle to organize the delivery of furniture to stores and end customers. Its cost will be 2 million rubles.

Staff

We won't need a lot of people in our workshop. At first, three people will be enough, two of whom will work directly in the workshop, and the manager will design and control the process.

Workers must be required to have work experience and qualifications. Let's look in tabular form at who exactly we need and what kind of wages should be installed.

Advertising and Marketing

To attract target audience, you will have to launch a large advertising campaign, which will require some expenses. We will choose the following advertising tools:

Active sales ( commercial offers, “cold” calls) – these functions will be performed by the business creator himself.
Creation of booklets and catalogs for placement in stores, company business cards.
Making a billboard for placement near production.
Delivery service vehicle branding.
Placing information in online catalogues.
Contextual advertising on the Internet.
Landing page creation.

Financial plan

Starting infusions

We present the costs of opening a small workshop for the production of cabinet furniture in the table.

The minimum financial threshold for entering this business will be 2,755.8 thousand rubles. Most of costs will be spent on purchasing a car, you can save on this by agreeing on delivery with the owner of such a vehicle.

Monthly expenses

Every month you will need to spend 245 thousand rubles.

Income

The profit from this business plan will be small, since income will have to be shared with manufacturers of lumber and furniture blanks. This reduces profitability, and therefore profitability, by 2 times.

At the first stage, you may have to work at a loss, delivering several samples of furniture to furniture stores for sale. But it will help to get orders from there.

Some end customers may come to you on their own, attracted by the “Cabinet furniture from the manufacturer” poster, which promises a lower price.

The average order price from us will be 8 thousand rubles (economy class furniture). Minus the price of lumber, we will have 6 thousand left. To earn money, we need to sell at least 40 average checks per month. This will give a total of 320 thousand rubles and about 60 thousand to the owner after deducting monthly expenses and taxes.

By reducing the cost of purchasing blanks, we will be able to produce goods of higher quality with an overall reduction in costs. This will give us an increase in the average bill to 10-11 thousand and a minimization of raw material costs to 700-800 rubles for one order.

Eventually

Opening your own furniture workshop is a promising business with an eye to the future. A small workshop operating on a short cycle can be expanded within a year and increase the quality of work and the attractiveness of the product for customers. The level of competition in this area is quite high, so it is important to win customers with fast and professional execution of orders. Then the investments made will be returned!

A furniture panel is a panel made of solid wood, which is used to create high-quality modern furniture. This is clearly indicated by the very name of the material. The technology for producing furniture panels is quite simple, which makes the business very attractive.
But in addition to the ease of production, some other positive aspects of this type of business can be noted, such as the production of high-quality furniture panels:

Starting a business does not require huge capital investments. Of course, this is not the most affordable option entrepreneurial activity, but far from being the most expensive in financially. You can buy the machine at a reasonable price, and you can even make the gluing press yourself.
The production process is simple and understandable even to those who were previously far from the technology of such activities. You can understand the intricacies and intricacies of the work in a short time, which provides certain advantages for getting started.
Any type of wood can be used to produce shields. It all depends on the wishes of the customer, on production capabilities and on what types of wood predominate in the region.
The demand for furniture panels is quite large, and if the products prove themselves to be of high quality and durable, the number of consumers will quickly increase.

Which production equipment to choose?

Usually, a novice entrepreneur stops at first opening a mini workshop for the production of furniture panels. This is a good solution that allows you to start your business with minimal costs and, accordingly, with minimal risks. Such a workshop will allow us to produce enough products for small wholesale trade.
To equip a mini workshop, you need to buy equipment for the production of furniture panels. You will definitely need a drying chamber for wood, a four-sided four-spindle machine, a double-sided thicknesser for lamellas, an end splicing line and an optimization line, a glue-applying machine, a fan wedge, as well as a format-cutting machine and a machine to achieve the effect of aging wood.
Of course, starting your own production of furniture panels will require a lot of investment. But if necessary, there is an opportunity to save a little. As already noted, some of the equipment can be made independently, but this will require time and certain knowledge. Or, as an alternative, you can consider buying used equipment. After overhaul the machines will still work great for a long time, therefore, if there is a lack of funds, it is quite important to consider the used option. At least this way you can start working without taking out a loan. The absence of credit obligations will help you quickly reach net profit and recoup your business investments.

Assortment of furniture panels

Once the premises are ready, equipment has been purchased and production has been established, it is necessary to decide on the choice of raw materials. To make furniture panels, you can use almost any type of wood, but still the choice of solid wood should be optimal and most profitable for the entrepreneur. Depending on the choice of wood species, furniture panels also differ in properties and characteristics.
The production of furniture panels from pine is widespread today. Such shields are sufficiently durable, they are easy to process and attract affordable price. Furniture panels made from solid pine are often used not only in the furniture industry, but also for interior decoration.
Production of furniture panels made of oak also does not lose its position, because there are many adherents of truly high-quality and durable material. Oak also has a characteristic pattern that adds nobility and elegance to the interior design.
One of the most durable materials consider beech. Furniture made from this type of wood will delight you with its durability and aesthetic design.
Birch has proven itself to be excellent, so the production of furniture panels from birch is especially important. This material is easy to process, and an additional bonus for its use is its low price.
In general, we can say that whatever type of wood is chosen for production, high-quality equipment and a thoughtful manufacturing process will produce excellent material for creating furniture and decoration modern houses and apartments. Because natural material These days it is becoming more and more in demand, the production of solid wood furniture panels is growing steadily. And this provokes increased competition in the market and leads to improved product quality and the offering of a more diverse range.
