We believe you should never compromise on design to achieve your ideal hygienic environment. Teknomek offer a bespoke service to create hygienic solutions for every space. Over the course of 2024, we have experienced a 56% increase in bespoke and customised orders proving that sometimes a more tailored approach is required to maintain more specialised hygienic environments. Our in-house CAD team are on hand to provide specialist furniture & equipment designs that optimise the space available and reduce the risk of contamination within every food and pharmaceutical environment. This blog will provide a walkthrough of the service, from conceptualisation to delivery, to help keep your business audit-ready every day.
What is the difference between custom & bespoke?
As the experts in hygienic design, we are well-equipped to find a solution. We offer both bespoke and customisable services alongside our standard furniture and equipment depending on the changes required. If you need a small alteration to the dimensions of an existing product, an upgrade to 316-grade stainless steel or electropolishing, then this will be categorised as a customised solution. However, if you need an entirely new design, our bespoke service is on-hand to help.
Why would you need bespoke?
Our bespoke solutions feature design aspects that eliminate areas which are hard to clean, reducing contamination risks and aiding sanitisation procedures. The use of bespoke furniture and equipment also demonstrates to auditors the willingness to comply with stringent hygiene regulations.
Each facility has a unique layout and bespoke designs can aid the production process by ensuring that it operates safely and efficiently. Innovative designs can optimise a space to reduce downtime spent cleaning and boost productivity, therefore improving operational flow.
What is the process?
The development of bespoke furniture and equipment can take less time than you might think! Once you get in touch with our fantastic Teknomek team, you can rest easy while we create a solution and make it a reality. We outline the process below:
Initial consultation:
Contact Teknomek to discuss your project requirements. Our experienced team will guide you through available options and gather detailed information about your needs.
Site visit: A sales consultant can visit your site to assess the space, take measurements, and discuss specifics to inform the design process.
Quotation and approval: We will provide a comprehensive quotation outlining our proposed solution for your review and consideration.
Design development: The in-house CAD design team uses advanced technology to create detailed designs and 3D layouts based on your specifications. These designs are reviewed and refined in collaboration with the customer to ensure that they meet all of their unique requirements.
Manufacturing and delivery: The bespoke and customised products are manufactured in Teknomek's own custom-built UK facility. These items are delivered to your site as soon as possible, ready for installation.
Showcasing our bespoke projects
No project is too big or too small if it provides a hygienic solution! Our bespoke and customised projects for the food and pharmaceutical sectors range from one-off items to large orders. We’ve compiled just a few examples of projects we’ve accomplished in 2024 below:
Seating bench with additional swivel seat
One request we received this year from a pharmaceutical company was to incorporate a swivel seat into a seating bench design to help reduce the physical strain of swivelling across the bench between the “dirty” and “clean” areas.
Bespoke ergonomic tables
We designed a bespoke solution for an international company in the Middle East for 64 ergonomic tables which will be used in a newly built museum.
Automatic tote bin washer
This bespoke item began as a request from a well-known food processing company and has now been developed to become widely available on our website. The customer needed a faster and more efficient tote bin washing system that could enable staff to spend more time in production. We stepped up to the challenge with our automatic tote bin washer able to clean up to 30 bins per hour.
