At Barum & Dewar we have extensive experience in designing bespoke solutions for our customers, so when long-standing client Parker Hannifin approached us with a new challenge, we were able to quickly find a solution.
Parker Hannifin is a global leader in motion and control technologies, and they required a compact and visually appealing case and foam solution for their client, a major European manufacturer of trucks and other large vehicles.
The brief was clear: to design a neat, compact, and eye-catching solution that would securely house a tool kit.
Working closely with Parkers to ensure that the brief was fully understood and satisfied, a black case paired with a black-on-yellow foam insert was selected for the project.
We finalised the design and then routed the foam insert to the profile of each too, before finishing with precise laser engraving, ensuring each tool had its designated place and could quickly and easily be identified by the end user.
Fitted into the case, the prototype was then presented to Parkers who then shipped the completed solution to the end user in Italy for final approval.
The response was overwhelmingly positive and, delighted with the case and foam, Parker Hannifin immediately placed a follow-up order for 180 units.
This solution has been a great success, resulting in several repeat orders, and it appears that the aim will be to furnish all of the end users fleet of vehicles with this neat tool case.
Our collaborative approach, innovative design and smart finished product has satisfied not only our client but theirs too, and paves the way for continued ongoing projects with our valued customer.
