Feb 08, 2012. /Lesprom Network/. The Homag Group’s revolutionary new reacTec laminating technology is already gaining a foothold. By the autumn of 2012, this innovative new technique will be up and running in the Polish production facilities of the company’s Swedish client Swedwood, a key supplier to the furniture giant IKEA. Negotiations for additional plants are already under way, as the company said in a press release received by Lesprom Network. Development of the new reacTec laminating technology was prompted by the idea of transposing the benefits of hot melt gluing to a new technique without any of its inherent drawbacks. In close cooperation with partners Henkel and Nordson, the Homag Group worked to develop an economical laminating technique combining the benefits of the urea method with those of hot melt gluing. Homag Group AG's management lays claim to being the world´s leading manufacturer of machines and equipment for the woodworking industry.
