Platform concept for greater flexibility

The perfect solution for furniture manufacturers and interior designers

Whether it is the Dynapro precision guide or the drawer systems of the Nova Pro family, GRASS opts for the platform concept. For customers, this means: maximum combination options, more flexibility and optimum differentiation.

Today, manufacturing companies are facing rapid changes in market requirements. Customer requirements are becoming increasingly personalized, in many projects cost pressure determines the choice of materials, while at the same time quality requirements are increasing. To meet these challenges efficiently, taking into account costs, time resources, GRASS has long used a systematic approach to product development. With the platform concept as the starting point for flexible movement systems, with which furniture manufacturers and interior designers find the perfect solution for their projects and customers.

For drawer slides with base mounting, GRASS offers the Dynapro Soft-close as a basis. Supplemented by the Tipmatic Soft-close opening system for handleless fronts and the elegant Vionaro drawer system, this creates a smart, multifunctional system solution for all applications. This means that drawers made of wood or steel can be produced with minimal use of capital and parts. Available with handle or for handle-less fronts. The Tipmatic Soft-close opening system plays an important role here. It combines the mechanical opening of handle-less fronts (Tipmatic) with the elegant, cushioned closing of the drawer (soft-close). Remarkably: assembly on the guide is completely tool-free and requires only one ejector unit thanks to the integrated three-stage force adjustment. 

With the double-walled movement systems, the platform concept is even realized in a separate product. With Nova Pro One, GRASS has expanded its product range with a drawer system that meets all the requirements of modern furniture construction with only three variants. As the little brother of Nova Pro Scala, the new system is the right choice where a compact range, proven performance and differentiation are required. 

This allows manufacturers, for example, to differentiate between their main operations and project work by choosing Nova Pro One. As a common platform for both main operations and project work, the Nova Pro guide system serves Nova Pro One and Nova Pro Scala. 

Later, you can switch to Nova Pro Scala at any time or combine both systems. There is no need to change production processes. All variants can be further enhanced with Soft-close, all opening systems and Tavinea drawer layouts. 

"Whether you use the diversity of Nova Pro Scala, the compact range of Nova Pro One or combine the two, 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 of a platform are compatible. This is exactly what characterizes our strategy for all motion systems. Everything can be combined with each other, from the guide system and drawers to the accessories."
