About Us
Ballen Panels has a rich history dating back to its establishment in 1994 by Tony Allen, a seasoned professional with over 40 years of experience in the educational and Laboratory Furniture industry. Tony's extensive background encompasses various roles, from production management to quality control, providing him with comprehensive knowledge of the industry.
In 2000, Kevin Meggs joined Ballen Panels, bringing with him 25 years of experience in the furnishing industry. Kevin's expertise lies in product design, development, sales, and marketing. His addition to the team marked a significant milestone in the company's growth, enabling them to focus on expanding into new market sectors and developing innovative designs.
Over the past 15 years, Tony and Kevin have worked collaboratively to establish a wide range of furniture offerings. They have developed both "standard" ranges for different environments and customized, made-to-measure solutions to meet the diverse needs of their clients. Regardless of the project, Ballen Panels ensures that their products adhere to the highest standards of quality, functionality, and design, all while catering to individual specifications and budgets.
