Recently, SCM Group has reopened the doors of its Technology Center in Rimini and the market responded enthusiastically despite the challenges posed by the current geopolitical and macroeconomic context. The Open House organised at the Group’s Headquarters from 12 to 14 March welcomed more than 3,000 visitors from 60 countries, demonstrating strong international interest in the new products and services developed for the entire woodworking sector. More than 1,000 companies from the industry attended the event, with the most represented markets being Italy, Poland, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom.
SCM outlined a new era of woodworking innovation, presenting a factory model where competitive advantage is no longer ensured solely by the machine or the plant, but by an integrated ecosystem of technologies, services and software solutions enabling connected, flexible and sustainable production processes.
This approach is also driven by an increasingly proactive after-sales activity which, thanks to advanced AI tools, uses information collected from more than 5,000 connected SCM machines worldwide and transforms it into advanced services.
Innovation was also a key focus of the event, with 15 new technological solutions presented across panel sizing, CNC machining centres for furniture manufacturing, solid wood processing and timber construction, window and door production lines, finishing systems for extra-matt effects, throughfeed moulding, double-end tenoning and new band saws for advanced joinery.
Pietro Gheller, director of SCM Wood Division, commented: “The SCM Open House represented an important opportunity to share with dealers and customers a new phase for the industry, exploring new paths to evolve their business. The strong participation and international interest confirmed how essential this journey is today to remain competitive in the market”.
