VetiGraph has been recognised as Best Supplier for Machinery in the Big Furniture Group’s 2025 Industry Honours – a title that reflects more than just quality software. It recognises a wider approach: one that combines technical innovation with practical training, tailored implementation, and long-term support.
This recognition isn’t simply about what the product does. It’s about how it’s delivered, supported, and embedded into real manufacturing workflows. Here’s what earned VetiGraph the win.

What Sets VetiGraph Apart from Other Machinery Suppliers?
The award recognises both the strength of VetiGraph’s CAD/CAM tools and the tailored training and implementation support that helps manufacturers get the most from them.
Rather than offering one-size-fits-all systems, VetiGraph works with each business to understand their current setup, digitise their legacy patterns, and build a tailored workflow that matches production demands.
This collaborative, service-driven model is what resonated with the judging panel and with manufacturers featured in the article.
Why Training Support Makes a Difference
VetiGraph delivers hands-on training led by people who understand furniture production, not just software features.
For manufacturers like Create Seating, this approach has been key. In the Big Furniture Group article, Create Seating’s Managing Director, Clive Kenyon-Brown, praised the way VetiGraph helped a new in-house designer roll out CAD tools with ease.
Upholstery businesses often deal with complex, manual pattern workflows. VetiGraph’s trainers help teams build digital equivalents that work and provide ongoing support to troubleshoot and refine them over time.
Real Support During Real Transitions
Switching to a digital workflow can be overwhelming, especially for companies with decades of legacy patterns. That’s something Milano Sportswear experienced when they moved from a 30-year archive of physical patterns to VetiGraph’s CAD system.
Speaking in a recent video interview, Milano’s design team described the transition as “daunting at first” but manageable thanks to VetiGraph’s support. Patterns were imported, reviewed, and refined one customer at a time. New styles are now created directly in VetiGraph, eliminating the need to digitise from paper each time.
This phased, realistic approach reflects how most manufacturers prefer to work. Rather than pushing for instant transformation, VetiGraph supports the shift at a pace that suits production needs.
A Supplier That Understands Furniture Manufacturing
Many software providers offer technical solutions without fully grasping what life looks like on a busy production floor. VetiGraph stands out because it understands the demands of manufacturing and designs tools to support them.
Its ecosystem supports the entire design-to-production process – from CAD design through to grading and cutting. Support is provided by a UK-based team, with direct experience in upholstery, garment and soft furnishings production.
It’s this blend of practical insight and technical strength that led to the 2025 win.
Moving Forward with VetiGraph
As more furniture manufacturers look to streamline operations, the role of CAD/CAM software becomes even more important. But software alone isn’t enough. The right supplier needs to bring training, adaptability, and long-term thinking to the table.
VetiGraph’s award as Best Supplier for Machinery in the Big Furniture Group Industry Honours is a reflection of that commitment, not just to innovation, but to real-world, scalable support.
