From the supplier: A new generation of high-tech wood component suppliers are redefining the shape of the woodworking industry. These suppliers, armed with the latest in computer numerical control (CNC) technology, are able to produce secondary wood parts at a cost that few woodworking firms can hope to match. Their increasing dominance of the components sector virtually means that most firms will have to shift to the outsourcing of components from these CNC job shops. This would allow woodworking specialists to concentrate on protecting their niche in the furniture and cabinetmaking sectors.
