The Mitani Company's management team begins its journey to Germany to select and examine the finest types of wood that reflect the company's commitment to providing high-quality products that enhance the comfort and beauty of homes. We will review the stages that wood goes through from its natural source in the forests until it becomes a piece of furniture ready for use in homes.
1. Choose wood from forests
Sustainable selection and harvesting
The process begins by selecting suitable wood from trees in the forests. This choice depends on the type of wood required, whether it is pine, oak, or any other type. To ensure sustainability, only mature trees are selected and young trees are left to grow, maintaining the ecological balance and ensuring the continuity of resources.
A visit by the Mitani Company’s management team to Germany
As part of its quest to provide the finest types of wood, the management team of Al Mitani Company went to Germany to select and examine the best types of wood from forests. This step ensures the selection of the finest raw materials that will be used in manufacturing the furniture, which is reflected in the quality of the final products.
2. Cutting and transportation
cut down trees
Trees are cut using modern and efficient equipment. Cutting techniques vary depending on the type of wood and geographic region. After felling, the trees are collected and transported to processing sites.
Transport
Logs are transported to factories using special transportation means that ensure the safety of the wood and minimize damage.
3. First treatment
Shredder
In factories, logs are cut into boards and smaller parts as per manufacturing requirements. The wood is cut into different sizes and shapes based on the desired final design.
Drying
The wood is dried to remove moisture, which prevents it from cracking and warping later. Drying kilns or natural drying techniques are used, depending on the type of wood and the intended use.
4. Secondary treatment
Trimming and polishing
The boards are trimmed and polished to a smooth surface ready for final treatment. This is done using modern machines that ensure precision of work and surface quality.
Chemical treatment
The wood may be treated with chemicals to protect it from insects and moisture and ensure its durability and longevity.
5. Design and manufacturing
the design
The design phase begins with developing 3D models using advanced design software. This allows you to visualize the final look of the furniture and make the necessary adjustments before manufacturing begins.
Manufacturing
The furniture is manufactured using advanced CNC machines to ensure precision and efficiency. The wooden parts are put together using various fastening techniques such as gluing, screws, and nails.
6. Finishing
Painting and polishing
Furniture pieces are coated with the required paint or dye to enhance their beauty and protect them from external factors. Protective coatings and polishes are added for an attractive, glossy finish.
Final assembly
Different pieces of furniture are put together to form the final product. A final inspection is conducted to ensure the quality of the work and the absence of any defects.
7. Distribution and sales
Encapsulation
Furniture is carefully packed to protect it during transportation. High quality packaging materials are used to ensure that the furniture reaches the consumer in excellent condition.
distribution
Furniture is distributed to stores or directly to customers using dedicated transportation to ensure the safety of the products.
8. Sustainability and recycling
Recycling
As the furniture's lifespan ends, the wood can be recycled for use in manufacturing new products. Recycling is an essential part of wood's sustainable life cycle.
Conclusion
Wood's journey from forests to furniture is a long and complex process that requires advanced technology and specialized expertise. Thanks to this process, wood is transformed from a raw natural material into exquisite pieces of furniture that add beauty and functionality to our homes, while preserving the environment through sustainability and recycling practices.
