Homag Group AG and Karl Heesemann Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG have agreed on extensive cooperation.The scope of Homag's product portfolio has grown considerably in recent years. At the same time, high demand from a large number of customer segments and growth areas requires a bundling of resources in the areas of R&D and production. For this reason, Homag has decided to discontinue in-house development and production of wide belt sanding machines. However, the strategic goal of Homag to cover the entire process chain in wood processing, which naturally includes sanding, remains constant. Therefore, instead of Homag's own solutions, those of Heesemann will now be made available.
In order to continue covering the entire process chain, Heesemann will expand its sanding machine portfolio and offer end-to-end solutions for all segments in the future: from entry-level to high-end solutions. For the entry-level machines in particular, Heesemann will be drawing on Homag 's expertise. Homag and Heesemann will also be working closely together in the sales and service network.
Homag will continue to provide service (hotline, on-site service and spare parts), for the sanding machines supplied under the BÜTFERING and Homag brands. For the sanding machines supplied by Heesemann in the future, Heesemann will take over the corresponding service.
