QUALITY

A furnipart handle is characterised by its outstanding quality; quality that not only can be seen but felt. Nothing is left to chance when it comes to our handles.

Back in 2009, we decided to formulate our own furnipart quality standard based on the standards from the German kitchen industry. As a result, tests of geometry, mechanical strength and surface are now part of both our development and serial production. Our wear-and-tear-test is performed by the German test Institute LGA.

Tests are carried out at our own laboratory in Denmark as well as during production to ensure you receive our highest standard every time.

How We Do It

We work closely with renowned designers to get every handle, knob and profile just right.

We carry out surface tests with the most common chemicals that are used in kitchens. Citric acid, alcohol and acetone are just some of the chemicals that are applied to the handles to test their resistance.

We carry out cross-cut tests – both with and without water – to test the handle’s corrosion resistance.

If a design doesn’t meet our quality requirements, a new pilot production must be started. We do all of this to ensure that all our products are to the high standards we have set for ourselves.

Our quality control team do random tests to inspect the surface on our handles to ensure that both colour and gloss is exactly right. By checking colour and gloss, our customers are ensured that our products are the same every time.

When the results of the tests are satisfactory, they are documented using a reference test handle, which future products are measured against. This means that we carry out incoming goods inspection on every shipment of handles that arrive from our production facility to ensure that the handles that we receive meet the set standards for the given design.
