About our cooperation
Plimob is a major supplier of self-assembly furniture to a major Swedish home goods company and has been a close Bufab customer since 2009. When a new component was needed for an item in their product range, Bufab was able to provide a solution.
Challenge
Based on feedback from customers and internal product experts, Plimob realized they needed a new component for a product in their extensive range. The new component would make it significantly easier for end customers to assemble their furniture and improve their overall experience.
However, Plimob had no finished design of the required component – just a concept and a few basic sketches.

Approach
Bufab worked in close collaboration with Plimob to turn their component concept into a reality.
Technical drawings based on Plimob’s early sketches were produced by Bufab’s Quality department, purchasers organized the production of samples, and the logistics team ensured delivery to the customer.

Result
After a collaborative review process between Plimob and Bufab, the new component was approved and put into production, and eventually delivered on time and exactly to specification.
Plimob’s products became more usable for their customers, and they’d turned a simple design idea into a success story.
