Furniture supplier poised for growth following six figure investment

Bradford-based contract furniture company, Knightsbridge Furniture, has made a six-figure investment in an L-Series Pathfinder fabric cutting machine.

It is just part of a number of significant purchases the company has planned for 2022/23.

The latest machinery was bought from Australian-based manufacturer, Pathfinder, through its UK agent and installer, AE Sewing Machines in Wrexham.

Knightsbridge also recently acquired its fourth CNC Router, to help meet increased demand, improve productivity and energy usage.

The Pathfinder fabric cutting machine replaced an older and difficult to maintain cutting system. The new addition has a vastly reduced maintenance program and provides greater cutting accuracy.

It allows for superior fabric nesting techniques which will hugely increase production, material utilisation and time efficiency.

Jason Brown, director of design & development, said: “This new addition to the factory is an exciting investment for Knightsbridge.

“We are keen to invest in cutting-edge technology to improve our products and services wherever we can.

“The Pathfinder fabric cutting machine is industry-leading fabric equipment which will allow us to cut additional shapes and sizes and greatly increase our production speed.”
