A platform concept that offers more flexibility.

Manufacturing companies today are facing rapid changes in terms of market requirements: Customers are demanding increasingly tailored solutions; costs have become the determining factor in material selection; and quality requirements are increasing. In order to meet these challenges while saving money, time and resources, GRASS has long been using a system concept in the development of its products. The platform concept is used as a basis for creating flexible movement systems that allow furniture manufacturers and tradespeople to find the optimal solution for their respective projects and customers.

Wood or steel? Either is great!

The GRASS Dynapro Soft-close forms a basis for concealed slides that has been tried and tested millions of times over. When used alongside the Tipmatic Soft-close opening system for handle-free fronts and the elegant Vionaro drawer system, this creates a smart, multi-functional system solution for a wide variety of applications. Drawers made of wood or steel can be produced at low cost using minimal parts. Fronts can be provided with or without handles. The Tipmatic Soft-close opening system plays a key part here: It combines a mechanical opening solution for handle-free fronts (Tipmatic) with an elegant, damped drawer closing mechanism (Soft-close). One particular highlight of this system is that installation on the slide does not require any tools and only one opening unit is needed thanks to the three integrated force settings. 

Nova Pro - Many requirements, one system

In the case of double-wall movement systems, the system concept has even been reflected in a separate product. With Nova Pro One, GRASS has expanded its portfolio to include a drawer system that meets all the requirements of modern furniture construction with just three variants. As the little brother of Nova Pro Scala, the system is the best choice when it comes to a compact range, performance proven millions of times over, and differentiation. For example, manufacturers can differentiate their contract work from their main business by choosing Nova Pro One. The Nova Pro management system can be used as a platform for both Nova Pro One and Nova Pro Scala - i.e., for both a manufacturer's main business and contract work. It is possible to switch to Nova Pro Scala at any time or combine both systems, without having to change production processes. This means that all variants can be upgraded further with Soft-close, any of the opening systems and Tavinea interior accessories. "Whether you use the diversity of Nova Pro Scala, the compact portfolio of Nova Pro One - or both - the Nova Pro platform offers maximum differentiation", says Ivo Tahler, Product Manager at GRASS. "The difference between modular systems and a true platform concept is that all variants from a platform are compatible. This is precisely what characterises our strategy for all movement systems. Everything can be combined, from the slide and the drawers right through to the accessories".
