Made of MDF, are you sure?

I love going to see suppliers to discuss project requirements face to face, in this busy world of the faceless email I do not think you can put a price on going and seeing for yourself how companies are continuing to trade.
Are the same staff in place, is the workshop tidy, has the supplier invested in new technology to benefit a saving of time or an ability to add additional value to the project.
Visiting a long-standing supplier in Barcelona I was pleased and amazed at the investment of a 3D CNC machine and the fact that they were reproducing a wooden replica tram for a European manufacture for exhibiting at future Transport Exhibitions. The compound curves were impressive and with each door being manufactured in 6 hours the machinery was giving a time saving of 4 man days per door.
