Blum’sMINIPRESS top makes its UK debut at Stoneywell Kitchens S
toneywell Kitchens, a kitchen retailer based in Staffordshire, were the first
company in the UK to invest in Blum’s MINIPRESS top. With over 20 years of trading, Paul Durrant runs Stoneywell kitchens, but he also benefits from the help of his daughter Hollie and family dog Benson. Stoneywell recently acquired an edge bander
and a vertical power saw, However, there was still one element they needed – the horizontal and vertical drilling points for fittings. Blum’s MINIPRESS top seemed to fit the bill. The 3rd generation of the MINIPRESS series of
machines, MINIPRESS top provides its user with a solution for drilling and insertion requirements. Coupled with EASYSTICK, the machine will dramatically increase the rate at which the board for a cabinet can be prepared or have Blum components installed. Furthermore, it is all contained in one machine, useful if space is a premium. MINIPRESS top completed the trio of machines that Stoneywell Kitchens needed for their next step as a business. Paul’s journey started with a complimentary tour
around the Blum Experience Centre. The tour culminated with a demonstration of a MINIPRESS top. To be able to take customers into his showroom and demonstrate to them the manufacturing process was the level of quality he

wanted for his customers. The lifetime guarantee Q card from Blum means Stoneywell’s customers can have full confidence in their new kitchen. The Blum Technical Team swung into action to
support Stoneywell Kitchens through the next steps. They helped Paul through the requirements with the machine so he could have all the accessories necessary for his purposes, including the extended five-meter ruler and range of drilling heads. Once the machine was delivered Blum’s
Technical Team paid a visit to complete the machine commissioning service. As the latest technical service from Blum, the purpose is to ensure that all new owners of a Blum machine have all the training they need. No two commissionings are the same, but the Blum experts were able to complete the installation,
and the team had about the machine - how to best incorporate Cabinet Configurator transfer patterns into the machine and the flexibility of the top for things like dowel guides - Paul and the team were ready to begin the hands on experience. Safe in the knowledge that Andy and Nathan are only a call away if needed. There is a standard follow up service in a year,
meaning Stoneywell Kitchens are confident that this is a long-term relationship, and their new manufacturing capability will remain on track. Paul Durrant is thrilled with his new machine:
“What we want, when we want it, how we want it”.

identify where Stoneywell needed help with the machine, and make any adjustments they felt would benefit the user. Finally, they needed to ensure all the software for both the MINIPRESS top and EASYSTICK was up to date. A few test runs confirmed that the MINIPRESS top was ready to go.
