Tailor-made perfection
Hotel furnishing demands high standards for materials, craftsmanship, and durability – especially for projects like the new Hampton by Hilton Hotel in Tallinn. The Estonian company Haapsalu Uksetehase AS demonstrated its expertise by producing and installing over 250 door sets in European oak veneer for this project. Modern vacuum presses from Columbus played a key role in this achievement.
The partnership between Haapsalu Uksetehase AS and Columbus began in 2001 with the purchase of their first press, a **C-S Marcanta** with a length of 2700 mm. A second machine of the same type followed in 2005. These two presses were a central part of production for 20 years.
In 2023, the production process was modernized with the introduction of two new Pioneer models from Columbus. These advanced vacuum presses offer increased capacity, precision, and efficiency.
The new Pioneer vacuum presses are the backbone of production and operate in two shifts. A recent highlight was the production and installation of over 250 door sets for the Hampton by Hilton Hotel in Tallinn. The 4-star hotel sets high standards for quality and design, which Haapsalu Uksetehase AS successfully met.
Each door set was finished with European oak veneer, creating a warm and elegant aesthetic that perfectly complements the hotel's interior design. Both the door frames and architraves were crafted using the Columbus Pioneer machines – a testament to their versatility and performance.
The decision to replace the reliable C-S Marcanta machines with the new Pioneer models underscores Haapsalu Uksetehase AS's commitment to innovation and long-term growth. The Pioneer machines combine modern technology with Columbus's proven reliability, opening up new possibilities for demanding projects.
The Hampton by Hilton project in Tallinn highlights how craftsmanship and modern technology can come together to achieve exceptional results. With the Pioneer vacuum presses from Columbus, Haapsalu Uksetehase AS is well-equipped to continue producing door sets that excel both functionally and aesthetically.
