HISTORY
CMcadeiras is a company based in Rebordosa, Paredes - a region of Portugal with a very strong and ancient tradition in the manufacture of furniture pieces. Manuel Campos decided to create his own furniture company - Campos & Filhos (currently known as Ducampus)
The company's origins date back to the 1940s, when Mr. . Decades later, in August 1990, the decision was made to expand the operation, in order to respond to the growing demand of the market for wooden chairs; thus CMcadeiras was born.
PRODUCTION
WOOD
Dozens of years of experience allow us to acquire the best wood available. All of our wood is obtained from sustainable forests, thus not jeopardizing their natural balance.
HUMIDITY
Wood absorbs moisture. To be properly worked, we dry it in our special greenhouses. Using a hygrometer, it is subsequently checked whether the values are ideal (10% to 14%). This drying dramatically increases the durability and stability of the wood.
WOOD SELECTION
Each board is unique. It is necessary to make a pre-selection of the raw material to be used. This is only possible through a thorough inspection to avoid cracks, branches or other imperfections present in the wood.
MACHINERY
Machinery precision is crucial. All operations are carried out with utmost attention in order to ensure all final elements are exact copies.
PRESSES
Two presses working simulaneously allow us to bend incredibly diverse shapes. This is done through prefabricated molds made on our CNC machines.
CNC MACHINES
Our 6-axis CNC machines ensure quality in the most delicate jobs. They allow us to cut, mill, and drill the same component always with extremely high precision.
SANDING
Dozens of specific sanders for each component allow for a homogeneous treatment across the board.
ASSEMBLY
When it comes to the delicate process of assembling the components, there is no better option than the manual work of our experienced employees.
LABELING
During the production process, the product is properly labeled. This gives us a unique level of traceability.
PAINTING
At this stage, color is applied to the chair. This manual process ensures uniform color distribution to compensate for the different shades of the wood.
RETOUCHING
After applying the color, it is necessary to sand. This entire process is manual, to make sure that the chair reaches its last transformation in perfect condition.
VARNISH
The varnish is applied by a 5-axis robot that guarantees a professional and constant application. Without fatigue and without distractions, the process is completed perfectly.
DRYING
The chairs are then placed on a giant conveyor belt, where they're guaranteed to dry without any interference.
UPHOLSTERY
The upholstery is applied manually by our professionals, who ensure its placement carefully.
PACKING
Proper packaging is essential. In order to reach our customers in the best possible conditions, the product is packed in a plastic bag, and is protected with cardboard and foam padding.
SHIPPING
We are careful to strictly identify all boxes with the respective customer and delivery location. Anywhere in the world is within our reach.
QUALITY
WOOD
Before it can be worked, the wood of choice has to respect a restricted range of humidity (10% to 14%). Only a company with large stocks of wood, and with a large drying capacity, can guarantee these parameters.
WOOD SELECTION
Raw wood is subject to natural adversities that cause cracks or branches. A careful selection prevents these defects from appearing in the final product. It is necessary to look for and reject any type of defect that may compromise the stability and durability of the product.
SAFETY
These triangular components - called corner-blocks - prevent the elements of a chair from splitting apart, providing the product with extra safety and many more years of use. The 2-slot system prevents it from moving around, and facilitates its application.
TENON
The tenon is a special component that allows the secure connection between two elements of a chair. Our tenons all have double striations, which prevent the glue being applied from depositing at the bottom of the perforation.
TECHNOLOGY
Our use of several CNC machines allows us to guarantee accuracy to the hundredth of a millimeter. This way we can always ensure that all chairs produced for a specific project are identical.
FOAMS
Only with the use of high quality foams can a homogeneous and comfortable finish be achieved throughout the chair. Space in the gaps must be adequate, neither too much nor too little.
INSPECTION
Each of our chairs is always carefully inspected in order to detect possible imperfections. Depending on the severity, they can be corrected on the spot. We'll always guarantee the final product reaches its destination as intended.
FINAL TEST
Our testing machine takes each of our chairs to the limit, simulating a load of 100 kg on the seat and 30 kg on the backrest. Tens of thousands of repetitions are performed to ensure that our products can withstand intensive use.
CERTIFICATION
- ISO 9001 : We are an ISO 9001 certified company since 2013.
- PEFC: Thanks to our PEFC certification, we are a company invested in the use of wood that comes from sustainable forests and that does not endanger ecosystems.
