STRIEBIG
TO INVEST £6.7 MILLION IN FACTORY EXPANSION
Striebig
AG, manufacturer of the world's top-selling vertical
panel saw range, is showing its confidence in
the future by investing 9.7m Euros (approx £6.7m)
in a new 1,500 sq m production unit at its Littau
plant in Switzerland.

Littau headquarters in Switzerland. |
The
building design chosen establishes a clear connection
between the company's products and the activities
of the majority of its customers. It uses a series
of vertical wooden beams of various sizes as part
of the cladding on the building' facade, which
also demonstrates the versatility of wood as a
construction material.
Intended
to address the current lack of space on the site,
the new building will give Striebig the capability
to deliver substantially increased production
levels well into the future.
Said
managing director Marcel Brunner: "Despite a general
sluggishness in the woodworking equipment market
last year, we experienced a 20% increase in sales.
This was helped by the fact that we offer a complete
range of vertical panel saws for every kind and
size of woodworking operation, and by the introduction
of our new, highly advanced Compact model."
He
added that he was optimistic that the company's
sales would continue to increase this year, despite
the current difficult market situation.
Striebig
saws are available in the UK and Ireland through
sole agent, T.M. Machinery Sales Ltd of Leicester.
