Durable and stylish panels tailored for high-traffic retail spaces.
Driven by innovation and expertise, we combine advanced technology with skilled craftsmanship to deliver reliable, high-quality solutions – trusted by leading companies and organisations across healthcare, retail, education, and more.
Every panel we manufacture is proudly made in our manufacturing facility in Preston, Britain, combining cutting-edge technology with expert craftsmanship to deliver durable, stylish, and functional solutions for the contract furniture industry.
At Watson Manufacturing, we produce 15,000 panels daily, leveraging state-of-the-art machinery and a skilled workforce to deliver high-quality, tailored solutions across various sectors.
We have invested in the latest technology, linking all processes of the business from order input, design, programming of machines, assembly, and dispatch. We run a fully bar-coded system that starts with materials coming through the door from suppliers and finishes when wrapping and strapping are completed.
Our new MES system gives us a clear picture of our production capacity and the current status of all our customer orders. As an effort to be as ahead of technology as possible we have employees that are trained in Industry 4.0.
Our high-tech latest machinery consists of ‘Homag SAWTEQ B-300 FlexTec and Storage Retrieval Saw’ which is a fully automated system that involves an integrated robot to complete our panel cutting process. This alongside two PU edgebanders offers us speed, accuracy, and efficiency in our panel products.
Working with the finest materials on the market enables us to deliver not only quantity but also a quality that lasts.
Complex shapes, curved panels, and repeatable precision — our CNC setup brings ideas to life with speed, accuracy, and total flexibility.
Whether it’s shaped panels, intricate cut-outs, or specialist joints, our CNC equipment handles the details others can’t — delivering exceptional results at scale.
Seamless finishes. Fast turnaround. Expertly matched materials. Our edge banding delivers performance without compromise.
From high-volume projects to complex shaped panels, we provide tailored edge banding solutions to meet your exact technical and aesthetic requirements.
