How can businesses turn setbacks into opportunities for growth?
At Flokk, we faced such a challenge with the transformation of our Turek site. After acquiring Profim in 2018, we saw an opportunity to reimagine the Turek facility with a focus on efficiency and innovation. This is our story of turning adversity into a strategic advantage, using M&A and production excellence to create lasting impact.
Lean manufacturing for efficient growth
Lean manufacturing is about maximizing value by optimizing processes and eliminating waste. At Flokk, we apply these principles across our operations to streamline workflows, improve product quality, and control costs. This approach enhances production speed and consistency, delivering value for our customers, employees, and owners.
When we acquired Profim, our goal was to transform its Turek site into one of Europe’s most advanced seating production facilities. However, a fire in 2019 disrupted our plans. Rather than seeing this as a setback, we viewed it as an opportunity to accelerate our "Future Production Setup" project. By fast-tracking this initiative, we embedded lean principles fully into Turek, creating a streamlined 27,000-square-meter production hub producing 100 product families with greater efficiency and agility.
M&A as a tool for operational efficiency
Strategic acquisitions like Profim allow us to introduce lean principles to new facilities, driving greater efficiency across our organization. By centralizing production for brands like Offecct and Giroflex at Turek, we have streamlined operations, reduced complexity, and lowered costs—all while maintaining high standards.
This consolidation strategy enhances our ability to adapt to market demands while positioning M&A as a path to sustainable, efficient operations that strengthen our offering. With Turek as a centralized hub, we can integrate newly acquired brands seamlessly, achieving scalable growth without sacrificing quality.
Building a platform for long-term success
The transformation of Turek marks a pivotal step in Flokk’s growth strategy. Through strategic investments in technology, automation, and continuous improvement, we’ve positioned Turek as a core asset that supports future growth and acquisitions. With this strong foundation in efficient manufacturing practices, Flokk is well-prepared to integrate new brands seamlessly and maintain our competitive advantage and customer offering.
