Zsofra Tamas: Quality carpentry with almost 60 years of tradition

Mihai Andras Tamas: "Maybe the customer is not interested in what machines you work with in the workshop or how hard it is in production. The customer is interested in the quality you offer and the timeframe in which you can honor the order. How well and smoothly you work to achieve the level of quality the customer wants is strictly up to you. If you want to work easily, well and quickly, you need quality machines."

The Tamas family boasts almost 60 years of carpentry tradition. The passion for woodworking has been passed down naturally from generation to generation. Mihai Andras Tamas learned the secrets of woodworking from his father, worked as an apprentice from the age of 15 and now passes them on to his children who come to work in the workshop during school vacations.

INTERVIEW Felder Gruppe Romania: Mihai Andras Tamas, Zsofra Tamas, Cluj

How did you get into this field?

Mihai Andras Tamas: My passion for wood runs in my family, my father was a carpenter. From him I learned to make furniture working as an apprentice. We're reaching 60 years of woodworking tradition. My father also started carpentry at the age of 15. In 2003 I started to work on my own and passed the craft from father to son.

What exactly do you produce?

Mihai Andras Tamas: We mainly make office furniture, office furnishings, but we also make design furniture pieces. At the moment we are working with a design company that has contracts with IT companies, and we do office production. We prioritize these projects, then we also take individual orders from private clients. Usually, individual clients come to us with just some sketches or pictures and tell us roughly what they would like. We strive to do exactly what they want and we work without technical drawings, without sketches with details, and this is sometimes difficult.

How did you come to work with Felder machines? 

Mihai Andras Tamas: Some colleagues of ours had Felder machines and not only did we get good references, but we also saw them working well. In 2007 we also bought our first Felder machine, the KF 700 S PRO combi cutter/milling machine and were very happy with it. Unfortunately, in 2018, we had a setback and had to buy all the machines we needed again. Of course, we bought them all from Felder Gruppe Romania.
