Merritt Joinery specializes in crafting high-quality joinery, cabinet making, timber windows and doors, stairs and timber mouldings. Serving a mix of residential and commercial customers, they cater to the mid-to-high-end market, working with a diverse range of materials including MDF, decorative board, veneer and solid timber. They focus on delivering bespoke, often high-end products that cater to clients' unique visions. “Our demand is mainly for out-of-the-ordinary and high-end materials, ideas, and products,” explains Ross Merritt, director of Merritt Joinery. This commitment to customization extends to their design process. Working closely with designers or directly with clients who bring their own inspirations, Merritt Joinery strives to replicate and realize those visions.
Advanced machinery helps overcome the competition
In a competitive market, Merritt Joinery understands the critical role of advanced technology in maintaining its edge. “It is very important,” he emphasizes. “It aids in turnover speed as well as being able to create product without as much manual handling.”
Their internal processes, from design to production, are streamlined and efficient. Designers utilize Microvellium CAD software, which seamlessly integrates with their CNC machines, including their latest acquisition, SCM's “morbidelli p200” CNC machining centre for routing, drilling, and edgebanding. This investment dates back to the early 2000s, driven by the need for increased speed and turnover: “The technical features of this CNC machining centre proved instrumental in achieving those goals”, Ross adds.
