Technical Springs for the Furniture Industry
Manufactured for industrial applications according to customer specifications
We manufacture wire-formed springs, compression springs, leaf springs, and stamped and bent parts as components for furniture hardware and mechanisms. Manufactured according to drawings, samples, or specifications, designed to withstand millions of load cycles, fluctuating humidity, and daily wear and tear.
Advantages
We provide exactly the right suspension system—one that you can rely on during installation and that your customers can count on day in and day out for years to come.
Suitable for production and custom models, with customized order quantities.
Delivery ready for assembly:
Upon request, we can include assembly of subassemblies, custom packaging, and Kanban delivery.
We understand the challenges
facing the furniture industry
The market for furniture hardware is highly competitive.
Manufacturers face price pressure while also having to meet high quality standards and deliver within ever-shorter lead times. Even a worn-out compression spring in a soft-close hinge or a corroded clip on garden furniture can lead to customer complaints with high associated costs.
We supply technical springs that reliably meet this requirement throughout the furniture’s life cycle.
Whether it’s a hinged mechanism, a soft-close damper, or a push-to-open mechanism: We design the geometry and materials so that the spring force remains constant even after a large number of cycles.
Kitchens and bathrooms are classic wet areas. We use corrosion-resistant spring steels (e.g., 1.4310 or 1.4401) and tailor surface treatments to withstand cleaning agents and splashing water.
Outdoor furniture is exposed to UV rays, temperature fluctuations, and humidity. We select materials and finishes that ensure the furniture retains its functionality and appearance even after several seasons.
Fixed delivery windows, express delivery upon request, as well as Kanban and consignment solutions ensure your production planning runs smoothly.
Furniture manufacturers produce both mass-produced and custom models simultaneously. We agree on customized order quantities and supply both mass-produced and small-batch orders from a single source.
Areas of Application
We manufacture precision components for key areas of modern vehicles, exactly according to your drawings, samples, or specifications.
Where Our Technical Springs Make a Difference in Vehicles
Garden & Outdoor Furniture
Weather-resistant spring components for furniture that is exposed to UV radiation, moisture, and temperature fluctuations.
Tension and compression springs for loungers, chairs, and folding tables, designed to withstand several seasons of outdoor use.
Torsion springs and wire-formed parts with corrosion protection for long-lasting performance.
Stamped and bent parts made of stainless spring steel for locking mechanisms and safety components.
Drawers, Doors, and Soft-Close Systems
Springs for motion mechanisms that end customers experience every day in kitchen, bathroom, and living room furniture.
Torsion and compression springs for smooth, quiet closing of drawers and doors.
Compression springs with precisely calibrated preload for handle-less furniture.
Springs and wire-formed parts for sliding doors, hinge fittings, and pull-out systems, designed to be resistant to lime and cleaning agents.
Smart & Electric Furniture
Spring components for the interfaces between mechanical and electronic systems in modern furniture.
Spring components for connectors, switches, and charging modules in electrified furniture.
Components in drive systems for height-adjustable tables, recliners, and electric bed frames.
Wire-formed parts and stamped-and-bent parts for the precise positioning of LED modules and sensors.
From Prototype to "
" Production Part
From prototype to mass production in record time. Are you developing a new furniture hardware component or an application that uses technical springs? We can quickly produce samples for you or advise you on prototype manufacturing so you can test the spring force and fit in real-world conditions. This helps you minimize your risk before starting mass production.
The Sketch / Idea
Do you have an idea, a rough sketch, or a 2D/3D drawing for a new mount?? We review your functional requirements and advise you on the optimal design . Even at this stage, we take into account the installation situation, available space, and environmental conditions, in order to streamline the subsequent manufacturing process.
The Prototype
Before your part goes into production, we’ll quickly produce prototype parts or a small batch to verify its functionality.. This allows you to test spring force, holding force, and fit directly on the object. This minimizes your development risk, refines the geometry, and provides you with maximum assurance before the start of series production.
The Production Part
Once approval is granted, we will transition seamlessly to mass production. We process certified materials to ensure long-term stability through continuous process monitoring. Upon request, you can receive your components ready for assembly or in special packaging tailored to your logistics needs..

Questions and Answers: Technical Springs for the Furniture Industry
What information do you need to provide a quote?
Ideally, a drawing (2D/3D) or a sample part. Additional information that is helpful includes the installation situation, desired spring force, installation space, quantity, operating environment (e.g., damp locations, outdoors), and desired delivery format.
Do you also manufacture prototypes or sample parts for furniture hardware?
We provide you with detailed guidance on prototype development and, based on this, deliver samples or a small production run for functional validation before seamlessly transitioning to mass production.
What materials do you use for kitchen, bathroom, and outdoor furniture?
For applications in damp environments or those exposed to chemicals, we use stainless spring steels such as 1.4310 or 1.4401. For outdoor applications, we combine these with additional surface treatments as needed.
Can you design springs for high cycle counts in soft-close or push-to-open mechanisms?
Yes. We specifically design the geometry, material, and spring characteristics to meet the required service life, ensuring that the spring force and noise characteristics remain consistent even after a large number of closing cycles.
Do you supply only individual parts, or do you also supply pre-assembled units?
Upon request, we also supply assemblies, kits, and custom packaging to help streamline your processes in assembly, receiving, and logistics.
Are just-in-time, Kanban, or consignment deliveries possible?
Yes. We tailor the delivery format and order quantities to your production schedule, including short-notice quantity adjustments and fixed delivery windows.
How do you ensure documentation and process reliability?
Through our zero-defect strategy, process monitoring, and comprehensive documentation, we ensure traceability that protects you in the event of a complaint or warranty claim.
