The second Siempelkamp customer symposium in Istanbul attracted around 100 participants from the Turkish wood-based materials industry, company announced. The agenda for the meeting was developed by the German and Turkish Siempelkamp team including the subsidiaries SLS (Service) and Pallmann (size-reduction technology).
“Turkey has developed into the leading driver of innovation for the wood-based materials industry in Europe. That is why it was an honor for us to initiate the active exchange of information with our customers,” says Ulrich Kaiser, Head of Sales Wood Division at Siempelkamp. Approximately 100 employees from almost all Turkish wood-based material manufacturers participated in the symposium of the German Partner at the Green Park Pendik Convention Center. The participants came from diversified backgrounds: site managers, production and investment teams of the wood-based material manufacturers focused on the inputs for two days from their specific perspective. They were welcomed by Ulrich Kaiser, Faruk Sisci (managing director Siempelkamp Istanbul), Stefan Wissing (managing director of the Siempelkamp subsidiaries SLS and Pallmann), and Dr. Stephan Niggeschmidt (managing director SLS).
The symposium focused on new developments such as the new hybrid particleboard as well as the Eco-innovations made by Siempelkamp – for example, EcoFormer, Eco Pilot, and EcoScan NEO. Siempelkamp’s partner Electronic Wood Systems (EWS) also participated in order to emphasize the advantages of the newly developed EcoScan NEO. This technology module from the SicoScan family stands for the “factory of tomorrow”. Ulrich Kaiser summed up the advantages of 3-dimensional engineering, applied by Siempelkamp’s Belgium subsidiary Sicoplan. Scanning techniques, the use of lasers and drone flights on site and above the customer’s premises provide the engineering experts with the exact electronic data that is needed when it comes to perfectly tailoring a plant to the requirements provided by the customer.
