HOMAG Group AG and Karl Heesemann Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG have taken their collaboration to another level following years of working together successfully. The two companies have agreed on an extensive cooperation.
Key aim of the companies HOMAG and Karl Heesemann Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG is to continue providing customers with high-performance solutions and an integrated sanding machine portfolio will be strengthened with this partnership.
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.
“Covering the entire process chain and the associated satisfaction of our customers is our focus. In Heesemann, we have found the ideal partner to continue providing our customers with end-to-end solutions for sanding and to cover the entire process chain.” remarked Frederik Meyer, Executive Vice President, CNC Processing Business Unit.
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.
“We at Heesemann are very excited about this great prospect for both companies. It is a unique opportunity to take our long-standing partnership to a new level and once again demonstrate our expertise and innovative strength for the benefit of our customers”, remarked Christoph Giese, Managing Director Heesemann.
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.
