Product details

About Kenner Co., Ltd.

Kenner Co., Ltd. is based in Inazawa City, Aichi Prefecture, and manufactures products focusing on exteriors, play equipment, and interior hardware.
Their strengths are their ability to provide high-quality products in a short delivery time by automating and expanding their facilities, and their ability to make counter-proposals with the aim of creating something that exceeds the end user's expectations. In addition, because they have proposals based on their extensive facilities, knowledge, and experience, they are sometimes able to take on products with shapes that other companies cannot manufacture. Another appeal of Kenner is their ability to respond to even the most advanced requests with their technical capabilities and proposal power.

The products are made with "artistic bending," "skillful bending," and "precise bending" to deliver excitement and satisfaction to customers. In order to provide high-quality products in a short delivery time, "Skillful bending" uses our pipe bender (TB-60). In this article, we will introduce the reason why they decided to introduce the TB-60 and the benefits they have gained since introducing it.

What prompted us to introduce the TB-60?

■Products used
Ercolina Top bender (TB-60)

The company became interested in the TB-60 after it began strengthening its facilities and moving to in-house production in response to increased sales. The company had been using one conventional machine, but with only one machine, workers would often have to share the equipment when they wanted to use it at the same time, so they considered adding another machine. In addition, since the construction period for playground equipment delivered to parks and daycare centers is fixed, shortening the delivery time even a little compared to other companies would help them avoid getting caught up in price competition. Strengthening the equipment was essential for this purpose, and the fact that one machine can be used to bend in multiple ways led the company to decide to purchase it.

Currently, the customer is using two machines, the TB-60 and a conventional model.

Benefits of Introducing TB-60

■ Usage
Bending process for making play equipment
■ Advantages
Suitable for shortening delivery times and producing a wide variety of products in small lots

Previously, when outsourcing bending work,the delivery time was about one week, but after the introduction of the TB-60, itwas shortened to one to two days. Thanks to this, they are now able to receive more orders without getting caught up in price competition. In addition, playground equipment and other products are not mass-produced, so customer needs are diverse. Kenner said that the TB-60 fits well with their production style because it can handle many different types of bending just by adding more dies. Another benefit is that by using two machines, together with the previous machine that they have been using for a long time, each worker can use it when they want, and they can respond to breakdowns and problems without stopping production.

They plan to further strengthen their facilities and expand their business with a view to expanding overseas in a few years. Currently, they mostly work as a partner company for manufacturers, but in order to take advantage of their strength of being able to make counter-proposals, they would like to proceed with design and manufacturing overseas as a "manufacturer" closer to the end user. We look forward to Kenner's further development, and we will continue to propose products and provide support to meet their expectations.
