Our philosophy

Jali might appear to be a traditional joinery company. We offer bespoke woodwork that's tailor-made for each customer's requirements.

Inside Jali, however, things are a little different.

Lean manufacturing

Jali has adopted the principle of lean manufacturing, which looks to identify and remove the causes of waste throughout the manufacturing process and across all parts of the business.

In addition to eliminating waste of materials, Jali also looks to eliminate wasted time - another signifciant cost to the business and, hence, to the customer.

Our factory is arranged so that we do as much as we can to your order in the same place, which saves moving the order between different work areas and ultimately enables us to reduce the cost of manufacture.

The environment

Most of the wood we use to make our products comes from sustainable forestry approved by the Forestry Commission.

By grouping lots of orders together and cutting the parts at the same time, we are able to minimise the amount of material that is wasted. Any waste we do create is disposed of on our own premises to reduce the impact of our business on the environment.

We hope that in time the technology will become available for us to use the heat we generate to produce electricity which we can then use to power our factory.
