Caple Consulting

Furniture factory consultancy · Since 1974

Furniture factory planning and consultancy in India

Caple helps cabinet, wardrobe, modular kitchen and furniture manufacturers plan a new factory or expand an existing one. We start from your products and orders, not from a machine catalogue, and work through process, layout, utilities, people, finance and after-sales support before you invest.

What our consultancy covers
