“Handy have been supplying us for over 25 years. We purchase more than 50 components from them, all forming a key part in our manufacturing processes. The Handy team gets it right 99% of the time. And when they get it wrong they put it right quickly.” David Morris, purchasing director, Sleepeezee Ltd
Handy proudly works with market-leading suppliers all around the world, some partnerships lasting over 25 years, putting the team in a unique position of understanding the best components on the global market.
Whilst a core part of Handy’s portfolio focuses on the bedding and upholstery sectors, components and services are also utilised across Office, Aerospace, Automotive, Hospitality, Fashion and Foam Conversion Sectors.
Handy also provides a variety of full-service solutions and expertise to drive process improvements for UK foam converters.
This includes RAM Elettronica Srl’s computerised foam-cutting machinery - ideal for cutting foam and other textiles. Supporting the next stage of the manufacturing process, Handy Limited is an exclusive agent for APER Srl’s innovative automated glueing and bonding systems.
Finally, Handy offer a range of environmentally friendly water-based and hot melt glues designed and developed specifically for foam converters, from Swiss Manufacturer Simalfa.
“In the interests of both the environment and our staff we were keen to move away from foam adhesion glues that included solvents. Handy Ltd demonstrated their single component water-based Simalfa 301 adhesive at our premises. We were delighted with the performance of the glue and the simplicity of the gravity fed system. We subsequently converted all our glue spraying stations to the Simalfa product.” Ian Potts, managing director, Livedale Foam & Sundries
