| Company profile: |
BENE — ONE OF EUROPE'S LEADING OFFICE ENVIRONMENT BRANDS
The complete integration of Bene's distribution network, project management and production operations via a modern IT system enables the group to meet clients' most exacting requirements in terms of comprehensive customised solutions. Behind the planning and implementation of these concepts is a workforce of over 1,200 led by an experienced management. This business model, which is geared to sustainable earnings growth, has enabled Bene to significantly outperform the office furniture market over the past few years. Since the 1960s Bene has successfully pursued a strategy based on continuous growth, strong international expansion and innovation, focusing on a wide range of system solutions tailored to customer requirements. This approach brought the group Austrian market leadership by 1980, and it has since made major strides towards globalisation by progressively rolling out an international sales network. Expansion of the production site in Waidhofen an der Ybbs has enabled Bene to streamline its processes and carry out a complete changeover to just-in-time manufacturing. Today the Waidhofen factory is one of the most modern in the European furniture industry and gives Bene a strong platform for its drive to become Europe’s leading work environment brand. |
