“In WoodEye we will gain a very well established, innovative team,” asserts a very upbeat CEO Timo Springer regarding the expansion of the SPRINGER Group’s portfolio. “WoodEye is a specialist in measuring and detecting all kinds of defects in lumber. This means we can keep the share of waste lumber of the valuable raw material down to a minimum while raising profitability in wood processing.”
The automatic detection of various defects in the wood facilitates valuation and the further processing steps. In other words, it is the perfect complement to classical plant construction.
“We’re looking forward to this future cooperation, which will enable us to bring about growth in our core markets,” says Jonas Eklind, who will remain CEO of WoodEye.
The Swedish company WoodEye with its head office in Linköping is a leader optimization systems in the field of software and optical image recognition – in particular in the “rough-mill” area in the production of furniture, windows, doors and parquet flooring.
The Springer Group builds sorting systems for round and sawn lumber as well as planing mills and plants for further wood processing. It develops plant concepts and system solutions, produces custom-built plants and is a supplier of complete plants.
