Cefla Finishing, a global leader in surface finishing technologies, has strengthened its long-standing partnership with Spanish interior door manufacturer Puertas Proma through the installation of two advanced integrated finishing lines designed to improve production efficiency, coating quality, and manufacturing productivity.
The investment marks another important milestone in the collaboration between the two companies, with the new systems complementing Cefla equipment that has been operating reliably at Puertas Proma’s production facility for more than two decades. The latest upgrade reflects the manufacturer’s continued commitment to modernising its production capabilities while maintaining consistently high product quality and sustainable manufacturing practices.
The newly installed finishing solution consists of two dedicated production lines, each engineered to optimize a critical stage of the door finishing process.
The first line is designed for basecoat application and incorporates Cefla’s Smartcoater PRO roller coater equipped with a soft application roller. The technology enables an exceptionally uniform coating layer across flat and profiled door surfaces, including products featuring grooves, decorative patterns, and intricate surface details. By ensuring consistent material distribution, the system improves coating adhesion while minimizing defects that can occur during conventional application methods.
The second line focuses on the final spray finishing stage and features Roctre, Cefla’s high-productivity reciprocating spray system developed for manufacturers processing doors with raised panels, complex geometries, and detailed profiles. The automated solution delivers precise lacquer application with excellent surface coverage, helping manufacturers achieve premium-quality finishes while maintaining high production throughput.
Together, the integrated finishing lines are expected to deliver significant operational benefits across Puertas Proma’s manufacturing process. The new technologies reduce lacquer consumption through optimized application efficiency, minimize overspray and production waste, improve material utilization, and ensure consistently high-quality surface finishes across a wide range of door designs. The automated systems also contribute to greater process stability, shorter production cycles, and improved repeatability—critical factors for manufacturers operating in increasingly competitive markets.
Beyond improving product quality, the investment supports Puertas Proma’s broader sustainability objectives. Efficient coating technologies play an increasingly important role in reducing the environmental impact of woodworking operations by lowering coating material consumption, decreasing volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions associated with finishing processes, and optimizing energy use throughout production. As manufacturers continue to adopt more sustainable production methods, advanced finishing systems have become essential tools for improving both environmental performance and operational efficiency.
The latest installation also highlights the durability and long-term reliability of Cefla’s engineering solutions. The company’s original finishing lines, installed at the Puertas Proma facility more than 20 years ago, continue to operate on a daily basis—demonstrating the longevity of the equipment and the strong relationship built between the two companies over the years. Such long service life reflects not only the quality of the machinery but also Cefla’s continued investment in customer support, technical service, and production optimization.
As global demand for premium interior doors and customized wood products continues to grow, manufacturers are increasingly investing in intelligent automation and precision finishing technologies to improve productivity while meeting higher customer expectations. Automated coating systems equipped with advanced control technologies enable manufacturers to produce superior surface finishes with greater consistency, faster changeovers, and lower operating costs.
Cefla Finishing has remained at the forefront of this transformation by developing integrated finishing solutions for the woodworking, furniture, building products, and composite materials industries. Its portfolio includes roller coating, spray finishing, digital printing, drying, curing, sanding, and material handling technologies that help manufacturers streamline production while supporting Industry 4.0 and smart factory initiatives.
For Puertas Proma, the installation of these two advanced finishing lines represents more than a production upgrade—it is a strategic investment in future-ready manufacturing. By combining automation, precision coating technologies, and sustainable production practices, the company is well positioned to enhance product quality, improve operational efficiency, and respond to the evolving demands of the global door manufacturing industry.
The continued partnership between Puertas Proma and Cefla Finishing demonstrates how long-term collaboration, technological innovation, and ongoing investment in advanced manufacturing can deliver lasting value, ensuring manufacturers remain competitive in an industry where quality, efficiency, and sustainability have become key drivers of success.
