"We therefore worked together with the WEINMANN engineers to adapt the software and the settings accordingly," recalls Managing Director Nicky Wijlens. The [...] first line, with just one exception: Instead of 10 m tables the company selected a more compact solution with tables that are 8 m in length. The two production lines are otherwise identical, with both

conventional heating systems take hours to raise the temperature inside to a comfortable level. The engineers at Systemtech therefore pressed various panel materials together and integrated a special heating [...] products such as the underfloor heating elements and the services offered by our newly established engineering department substantially increased turnover," reports Schneider. "It was only due to this growth [...] Plattenaufteiltechnik and Homag Automation (formerly Bargstedt) are perfectly compatible – a turnkey solution that impressed Schneider: "We decided on what was at that time a brand-new saw, the HPP 30 profiLine

Think bigger

the company, which has its own planning department and employs 27 engineers, looks initially for a cost-efficient wood work solution. Tillmann Schütt: "That's easier for us because with this department [...] are no longer necessary, which is then ultimately reflected in the overall situation." Wood work solutions absolutely preferred For Gebr. Schütt KG, skeleton constructions with suspended wood frame facades [...] the project development, we can then make suggestions for materials and develop optimal wood work solutions, whereby we always place a lot of value on cost-effectiveness." The target group for Gebr. Schütt

Flexibility was key

We bought special trimmers and test timber [...] could not be processed on the beam processing system, which is why the carpenter had to find another solution. At the time, the master carpenter recalled his training at WEINMANN: "In the back of my mind, I

Today, even developers who are looking for a permanent solution are interested in its high-quality modular buildings, which are built using timber frame constructions [...] several years - because of a long-winded approval procedure, for example. Therefore a temporary solution can end up being used for many years. The advantage of modular buildings in such situations is that [...] have long since exceeded temporary status. Ultimately, they also offer contractors of permanent solutions a whole range of benefits, making them seem an attractive alternative to conventional forms of

Houses from the production line
