Stainless steel sheet metalwork remains the dominant material of choice for external surfaces in this market, but we have shown that even at relatively low production volumes this need not stifle creativity. The localised use of pressing, punching and piercing can add dramatically to the perceived product quality and value, without incurring high tooling costs.
Furthermore, there are numerous opportunities to introduce less traditional processes, materials and finishes where appropriate. These can open up a wide range of options on form, finish and colour, which, in conjunction with the application of graphics, provide further possibilities for product differentiation.
