4 good reasons to choose us!
Experience
For more than 25 years we have been successfully active in the field of planning and realisation of plants for the wood and recycling industry. Many of our machines and plants are still in use today to the complete satisfaction of our customers.
Flexibility
The flat hierarchies of our owner-managed company enable short decision-making processes and fast and effective reactions to our customers' wishes. We are always ready to go creative and unconventional ways. We have our finger on the pulse of time. Access to a wide range of products allows us to deliver customised plant
concepts.
Individual planning
No two plants are alike! Every project has different requirements and constructional and legal specifications vary. We find the optimal solution together with our customers and their experts. We organise the interaction of engineers, technicians and craftsmen across all trades for the successful implementation of the plans.
Reliability
Just like our plants and machines, you can rely on our employees. They are at your disposal with expertise and tips from the first contact through the realisation of your project to the operation / after-sales of the plant.
