Leutkirch - April 2010
In the fast lane with “Thermopal Design Express”
Thermopal, the manufacturer of decorative boards, has upgraded its “Design Express” stock and order range: all its high pressure laminate boards (HPL) and a large number of decorative panels with matching edges are now available from stock, so in a very short time. And with the order range, customers have access to an almost unbroken range of thicknesses and 36 trendy worktops – in just eight working days.
Worktops complete the express programme
Thermopal’s extensive stock programme is available to main dealers in just 48 hours’ time: this means that customers can choose from 91 HPL and 28 other designs as direct-coated decorative chipboard – including the matching edges – for delivery a short time later. The designs are also all available in the order programme, which covers almost the entire range of thicknesses of decorative and HPL composite chipboard. All of which means that Thermopal can promise to deliver to main dealers in eight working days. Thermopal has also added a number of worktops to its express programme: as of now, a total of 36 selected trend designs are available at short notice for worktops in the widths 600, 900 and 1200 mm.
A new logistics structure is responsible for these short delivery times, and allows for flexible batch sizes from a quantity of just one. Which is not just of benefit to retailers. Processors also benefit from the company’s improved fast-delivery programme: they can now also have access to designs that the retailer does not have in stock – and still schedule reliably.
