GERMANY – SCM celebrated the 35% growth in orders during the last year in the important German market with a stand of more than 1300 m² at Holz-Handwerk, the trade fair for professionals in the wood industry held from March 21 to 24 in Nuremberg.

“SCM, which has been operating in Germany for thirty years, is now experiencing solid growth in this country,” explained the director of SCM Germany, Uwe Kosok, during the press conference offered by the Italian manufacturer of machinery and solutions for woodworking. “The German woodworking and door and window industries are currently going through an exciting booming moment, and SCM, the world leading producer for these industries since the 1960s, still leads the way thanks to its ability to offer the widest range of products, from machines designed for small carpentry shops to numerically controlled machining centers for processing both solid wood and panels.”

This growth in Germany has also required the increase of the personnel plant. “In 2017 we have added 20% more new technicians to our team compared to 2016,” said Kosok, “with the aim of being not only a supplier, but also a qualified partner for our customers.”

Among the dozens of technologies exhibited in the 1300m² stand at Holz-Handwerk, SCM presented the new digital solutions from Maestro Digital Systems, which allow an increasingly smart, easy and fast operation, independently of the operator’s experience.

The Maestro Smartech 3D glasses for remote assistance and the new multi-touch operator panel, eye-M, also caught a lot of attention from visitors.

Other popular machines among the dozens on view at the SCM stand were the machining centers for door and window frame manufacturers, the new range of presses intended to meet all market segments, and the finishing solutions based on the use of a sprayer robot.
