HPP bolsters in-house manufacturing
Distributor Hill’s Panel Products (HPP) has opted to extend a European kitchen door collection with models manufactured in-house.
Distributor Hill’s Panel Products (HPP) has opted to extend a European kitchen door collection with models manufactured in-house.
The doors will be part of HPP’s Avanti off-the-shelf collection and will be a range of skinny shakers called Juno.
Commenting on the decision, HPP’s marketing and business development director Dan Mounsey said: “We’ve had Brexit, the pandemic and now the state of the economy, which makes the exchange rate between sterling and the Euro unfavourable.

“Add in logistics, the cost of fuel, lead times, and the availability of materials; bringing in doors from the continent ticks a lot of the wrong boxes.
“Taking into the account those pressures; we’ve decided to manufacture in-house.”
Based on HPP’s Mercia door in the Aspire made-to-measure range, Juno will feature a 60mm slim profile and be available in four super matt decors: Dust Grey, Black, Indigo Blue and Highland Green.
Each range will be available in approximately 60 SKUs, including doors, drawer fronts, end panels, cornices, plinths and filler panels in a variety of sizes, and all available to order online.
Dan adds: “Because we’re manufacturing in-house, there will be a made-to-measure option as well, which will make this range unique.
“So, for example, customers could order 90% of what they need off the shelf and then have the rest made-to-measure. Overall, it creates great versatility.”
As with the other doors in the Avanti range, the Juno will be undrilled as standard, but a bespoke hinge hole drilling service is available with a one-day lead time.
Sales manager of HPP Chris Essex added: “This will continue the growth for the Avanti range, which has been a great success since we launched it in 2011.
“It makes a significant contribution to the business and always has done.”

They belong to The New Classtone and Fusioncollections which interpret marble and natural stone, respectively, and boast Neolith’s antibacterial NeolEAT technology.
Inspired by Ancient Rome, Calacatta Roma (pictured top) pays homage to Italian Carrara marble, with ochre and grey veins in a white background.
While the Cappadocia region, in central Turkey, with its rock formations formed by volcanoes and underground cities, has inspired Cappadocia Sunset (pictured below).
Just like all of Neolith’s surfaces, Calacatta Roma and Cappadocia Sunset are resistant to heat and atmospheric conditions, are 100% recyclable, and do not contain added quartz to their formulation.
