Weinig’s solid wood business unit solid sold a total of 190 machines and systems at LIGNA 2015, the big German trade show held in Hannover last month.
“Buoyant interest throughout the entire duration of the event translated into a high order inflow,” Weinig reports, with “an increase of 21 percent compared with the previous LIGNA.”
Weinig says its Holz-Her subsidiary, which specializes in panel processing and edgebanding, recorded a 5 percent increase in orders, selling 75 machines.
Weinig and Holz-Her were among the larger exhibitors at LIGNA, and attendees from 91 countries visited its 45,000 square foot exhibit.
“In a generally good investment climate, we were able to impress with our innovations,” CEO Wolfgang Pöschl says. Weinig presented innovations in a new stage in the evolution of planing and profiling machines, along with CNC centers for window production, and ripping technology with scanner integration. Another focal point was networked production.
