A high-quality workshop; a focal point to the business

Lübbering is a global leader in manufacturing high-precision tools for the automotive, aerospace and defence sectors. Their expansion into the UK resulted in a large purpose-built facility and Lübbering chose Dura for their design expertise to future-proof their new workshop which was central to their new facility.

The main workshop was fitted out with six distinct workstations. To fulfil Lübbering’s need to operate an efficient workflow, Dura designed the stations in two rows ‘back to back’. It enabled each technician to work closely to each other, whilst allowing them enough space of their own. Each workstation was integrated with monitors, cupboards, drawers, space to sit or stand, back panels for tool storage, an air reel and waste bins.

To provide flexibility, Lübbering chose additional storage in the form of mobile tool cabinets. Dura designed these to sit centrally in the room, when not being used as an extension of the technicians’ workstations. Additional workstations were fitted into a room adjacent to the main workshop, for more intricate tasks.

Lübbering’s Business Line Manager Alex Cuthell commented “We are thrilled with the final design. The thought and detail Dura put into every area of the room is incredible! From using our branded corporate colours on the furniture, including the component bins, through to hidden details such as power units within each cubby hole has really made it a fantastic place to work in. The layout of the room is logically organised and provides more storage than we could ever imagine. The variety of storage alone provides flexibility for organising stock components, which is useful for segregating parts and managing stock control.”
