GERMANY – Siempelkamp is will make greater use of its foreign production locations to position itself with a stronger international focus.

Based in Krefeld, Germany, Siempelkamp Group is a global leader in the production of press lines and complete plants for the wood-based panel industry. With this strategy the Company is reacting to new competitive situations, and to the weakening of originally strong markets such as Russia and Brazil.

In recent years, Siempelkamp has consistently been expanding its manufacturing facilities internationally in the Czech Republic and China. The global network of sales and service companies is also a component of this internationalization process.

“This now represents the implementation of the strategy that we have long been announcing – the internationalization of the Siempelkamp technology group. The general conditions in the global economy have confirmed the necessity of this step. Siempelkamp is still technology leader in many key markets, and will remain so. The “heart and mind” of Siempelkamp remains here in Krefeld”, concludes Dr. Hans Fechner, Spokesperson of the Executive Management at Siempelkamp.
