Clamping force and flexibility were impressive

Carpentry company RAUM DESIGN KÖHLER GmbH has been producing customised living space solutions since 2006. Based in Biebergemünd Wirtheim, Germany, the company currently employs 21 people and has evolved from its initial assembly business to a carpentry company, which is now equipped with three CNC machines. In an interview, owner Marco Köhler explains his personal recipe for success to us: «Craftsmanship is at home here. We offer a variety of services so that customer only need one partner to implement a project.»

We would also like to find out from the carpentry company how the Cabineo 8 M6 cabinet connector came to be used in addition to the daily use of Lamello's P-System. «For the project (Good Life Vans), where we machine various modules made of plywood sheets with a panel thickness of 16 millimetres, we took another close look at the modular and detachable connectors on the market. We knew about the Cabineo, but had not yet used it.» However, after a demonstration by Lamello's sales team, it was soon clear that the Cabineo 8 M6 would be used. Marco Köhler commented: «The advantage of the Cabineo was that it only had to be machined on the surface. This allows us to mill it on the multipurpose cutter. The high clamping force was also impressive - without the need for wooden dowels.»

The use of Lamello's connector greatly simplifies the work, says the business owner. «After milling on the multipurpose cutter, the fitting is hammered in. Until the furniture is installed in the camper, the individual components can be flat packed with the pre-assembled connectors in a simple and space-saving manner. Assembly can be carried out without tools and with a minimum of personnel. Compared to previous solutions, we are 80 percent faster in assembly.» For Köhler, another advantage of the Cabineo is the cover caps, which are always used when the connector is visible from the outside.

On the company's website, it says: «Good craftsmanship is the sum of knowledge and experience. Special things happen where creativity and passion inspire us.» Yes, the enthusiasm for his work can be felt in each of Marco Köhler's sentences and projects, whether it is kitchen manufacturing, his own bicycle shop or the interior fittings of the «Good Life Vans».
