Treston QuatreX workbenches improved Pihka Collection’s production process

Pihka Collection, a Finnish brand known for its high-quality, handcrafted leather goods, streamlined the manufacturing and packaging process of their handbags with Treston QuatreX workbenches. With a facility that serves as both a production area and a showroom, Pihka’s team needed adaptable workstations that could meet the varying demands of their production process while ensuring the precision work required and comfort for their employees.

Meeting the demands of craftsmanship

Pihka’s production involves handbags in different sizes, and regardless of size, each one requires the same level of precision. The difference in working height is determined by the size of the product being handled, allowing employees to adjust the workstations to the optimal height for each specific handbag.

Flexibility and customization for enhanced productivity

The Treston QuatreX workbenches enabled Pihka to equip their facility with highly adaptable, ergonomic workstations, which were supplied with a variety of suitable accessories to enhance their production process and employee comfort.

One of the unique features of the Treston QuatreX is that one workbench is equipped with aluminum uprights, while the other has steel uprights, offering a wide range of options for selecting and customizing accessories for the workstations.

The Treston QuatreX workbench features extremely fast electric height adjustment, which allows employees to quickly adjust the workstation to the optimal height for each task. The flexibility of Treston QuatreX ensures that employees can work comfortably without compromising their posture, whether they are working on larger or smaller pieces, or work tasks needing rougher or more precision work.

This adaptability is enhanced by the wide range of accessories that can be customized to each workstation’s needs, ensuring that the workspace is tailored for maximum efficiency.

Precision, stability, and comfort

For Pihka’s craftsmen, precision is essential, especially when working on intricate leather details. The stability of the Treston QuatreX workbenches is key to maintaining accuracy during these tasks. The sturdy design eliminates unwanted vibrations, ensuring the precision of the work at hand.

The exceptional stability also reduces the noise generated during tasks like small-detail hammering. Because the Treston QuatreX workbenches do not vibrate, the sound produced is significantly reduced, creating a quieter environment that supports focused work.

Efficient workflow and task-specific adjustments

Before using the Treston QuatreX workbenches, Pihka’s employees spent time searching for tools and adjusting their workspace for each new task. With the new workstations, tools and materials are now organized and within easy reach, reducing downtime and improving efficiency.

The workbenches also feature integrated task lighting, providing optimal lighting conditions for detailed tasks. This ensures that employees can work with minimal eye strain, which is critical when crafting small-detailed, high-quality leather goods.
