Products + Tools

In June, SD Products Ltd entered into a partnership with SIMON Beschlagtechnik – the fittings technology division of SIMON corporate group.

SIMON is an innovator and premium supplier of high-quality furniture fitting systems. The company specialises in highly functional, complex products with combined damping and push-to-open functions for the furniture industry, e.g for installation in drawers and cabinets, as well as damping systems for sliding and hinged doors of many different sizes and weight classes.

When it was first founded in 1918, the SIMON company manufactured components for the clock making industry; it soon also included sheet metal and punched components, mirror mounts, and cabinet shelving in its portfolio of products. In 1938, SIMON created a separate area for manufacturing furniture fittings. The company has been collecting experience in creating functional fittings for many different types of furnishings ever since. SIMON fittings technology division has grown continuously, keeping up with quickly shifting trends in the home, bath, bedroom, and office areas. Since its inception, it has equipped generation upon generation of furniture pieces with opening and closing systems.

SIMON develops and constructs all its systems in-house, using modern technical tools such as CAD, FEM, and rapid prototyping. Its own tooling shop includes a high performance, modern development department with comprehensive experience in all of the different processing areas on offer, for instance tools for plastic injection moulding. The company’s automated assembly area uses the most modern technology available. SIMON completes a 100% inspection of all of its series products in-house, assembly and testing equipment is also developed and built internally.

SD Products is proud to be the first official UK distributor for SIMON, considering this partnership an important step forward as it continues to expand its presence in the motion technologies market. SD says: “It is our aim to provide the best quality service to our customers and clients and we sincerely hope that working with SIMON will enable us to do that in more ways than before.”
