Cutomers favor end-to-end solutions from the market leader

Schopfloch, May 26, 2011. In the first five months of 2011, much earlier than in 2010, the HOMAG Group already exceeded the 100 million euro threshold for the order intake in the project business with its own products. Following a 13 percent increase to EUR 187.8 million in total order intake in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the prior-year quarter, the persistently high demand in the project business underlines the positive performance of the HOMAG Group. With orders received from renowned German, European and Asian customers, the supplier with the highest sales revenue for wood processing production lines further extended its global market leadership.

The order volume of the current year covers the entire spectrum of the furniture industry from series production to batch-size 1 lines. Other plants for door panel production as well as tenoner lines for laminate and parquet flooring are likewise part of this high order intake.

Project planning for complete cells and plants is carried out by HOMAG Group Engineering, our specialists with a high degree of system and plant expertise. The extensive industry know-how of the HOMAG Group is based on the expertise of all the group companies, allowing the group to offer tailored and yet at the same time highly flexible solutions and concepts for the entire furniture and componentry industry.
