MUEBLES ORGA S.L. is a family-owned company founded in 1984 by Juan Ortiz with a focus on manufacturing dining tables. While the company originally specialized in more traditional designs, it has continuously adapted to evolving market trends, producing contemporary tables that meet modern consumer demands. Initially, MUEBLES ORGA’s tables were crafted from solid wood and veneered wood, but today, 75% of production is done using melamine panels. The company primarily serves the mid-to-high-end market, with 80% of its tables falling into this category. While it does offer some entry-level options, it also produces a select range of high-end tables for third-party brands—most of which are exported outside Spain. Based in Yecla, the company generates an annual turnover of approximately €3 million and employs 32 people. To stay ahead in an industry that constantly evolves with new materials, MUEBLES ORGA has modernized its technology and production systems. However, traditional woods such as beech, oak, and ash remain a key part of its inventory, visible both in storage and on the production floor. “The request for wooden tables has diminished. Nowadays, stocking up on wood and veneered wood has become more complicated. Legislation surrounding the importation of these materials and the emission of dust are even stricter. Furthermore, creating a table in wood is technically more complex” admits Juan Manuel Ortiz, managing director of the company in Murcia. “In the past, a truck would arrive every week full of wood and we would adjust the humidity in two dryers, while nowadays, the request has dropped in favour of furniture made in melamine”.
Krion, the perfect furniture accessory
Alongside the production of dining tables, the company’s key product, solid surfaces are also machined, especially KRION and PORCELANOSA. “A business sector which has allowed us to diversify the company’s product and activity, because creating a kitchen worktop has nothing to do with the production of a dining table”, explains Juan Manuel Ortiz. “Entering the world of solid surfaces has allowed us to expand our target market significantly; we create parts for kitchens, but also for façades, top-of-the-range furniture, clinics, hospitals, laboratories, etc”. KRION is a solid surface material that has nothing in common with MDF panels, but with the SCM machinery which MUEBLES ORGA has, like the circular saws and cnc machining centres, it is processed to perfection. “No more changing parameters and tools so that the materials don’t get contaminated”, explains Juan Manuel Ortiz. “The attachment angle of the tool must be different, just like the rotation speed and transfer, which must be sufficient for the material”.
Always with SCM
When Juan Ortiz took over MUEBLES ORGA in the 1980s, the company’s machinery in Murcia was still entirely traditional. At the time, SCM’s circular saw - L’invincibile - was a widely recognized industry favorite. Thanks to the initiative of Juan Palao Peña, a technological consultant and supplier of machinery, equipment, and consumables for MUEBLES ORGA S.L., SCM made its first inroads into the Yecla-based company. The prestigious Italian brand stood out from the competition, not just for its superior machinery but also for the outstanding support provided by SCM’s sales team. A major turning point came with the introduction of SCM’s sanding machines. The legendary Sandya (now known as the “dmc sd”) and other models from the “dmc” range became key additions to ORGA’s production line. Then, in 1994, the company took another leap forward with its first CNC machining center—a 3-axis SCM Routomat. This cutting-edge machine introduced ORGA to computer-assisted production with numerical control, a technology already well-established in the metalworking industry but still relatively new in woodworking at the time. “Four years later, we bought another ‘SCM routomat’, with a slightly larger work surface”, Juan Manuel Ortiz recalls. “Soon after, we decided to purchase an edgebander from SCM, especially those in the “stefani” range. With SCM, MUEBLES ORGA’s production processes evolved towards better quality, productivity and, more than anything else, flexibility, needed to deal with the growing variation of references and production finishes. “Nowadays, the ‘stefani md’ is practically the core of the company. Its role at the factory is so significant that, in order to manufacture effectively, we also purchased a new model in the range”. Everyone at MUEBLES ORGA is enthusiastic about the SCM technology for the edgebanding panels with PUR glue. “At the outset, we were slightly concerned about changing technology so we opted for a ‘stefani’ with PUR and EVA glue tanks” recalls Javier Ortiz, head of production. “We have never applied EVA glue so the second machine only uses polyurethane glue”.
As far as the machining centres are concerned, after the “Routomats” came a 3-axis “ergon” and a “prisma” in 2010, the latter with 5 axes. In 2022 and 2024, more modern models arrived, respectively a CNC machining centre for drilling and routing solid wood, “accord 30 fxm”, and a morbidelli cx210 drilling machine. All these new solutions acquired an even more significant role in the factory as the technical department gradually became more familiar with the design and programming. “When we purchased the first machine, in 1994, SCM offered us Alphacam, an intelligent and intuitive CAD/CAM software for joinery work. And they provided us with the post-processor to work with the program. From that point on, we changed different software, such as Autodesk Inventor to design in 3D, until SCM opened the doors to Maestro cnc, the design and programming software for SCM machining centres, which by now includes the latest machines acquired by MUEBLES ORGA”.
Towards the future together
MUEBLES ORGA has always appreciated the reliability of SCM’s technologies as well as the consulting and technical assistance received before and after sales from SCM España. In recent times, the company has taken a significant step forward in terms of production flexibility: while in the past, a client would request 400 tables all the same, nowadays at the very most they ask for 10 units of the same model. The machines, therefore, require agility and easy programming as well as improved adaptation to the next process.
“I am very loyal to my suppliers; the expectations that we have had since the outset have been achieved with SCM”, concludes Juan Manuel Ortiz. “SCM solutions are very reliable and allow for the gradual integration of new technologies to improve performance and help us progress. We are loyal to SCM as well as to PORCELANOSA. Just as I like the fact that our clients have continued to be faithful to MUEBLES ORGA over the years”.
