Pro Paneel Nederland has been around for over 45 years and specialises in the production of unfinished goods for the furniture industry, in particular, panel sizing, drilling and panel glueing. As well as this, the company based in Weert (NL), also supplies bespoke internal furnishings. “We can supply panels of any size and with any kind of machining, and we also have an assembly department”, explains the owner, Marcel Veraa. An increasing number of clients know how to find Pro Paneel. The company has a wide range of machines at its 1,600 m2 workshop. “All the machines are supplied by SCM. We have established good relations with them and especially with Niels Altena, the product consultant for the south of the country: he understands us and knows exactly what we do best. As a result, he can advise us on the technological solutions that suit us best”.
Over the last five years, Pro Paneel has purchased several machines: a new “gabbiani g 2” panel saw in 2020, a first “morbidelli” CNC machining centre for nesting and a second one in 2022. “All these machines allow for a simple, rapid cut. Thanks to the ‘morbidelli x200’ cnc machining centre for nesting, for example, the panel is only pre-treated in a single stage”. In 2020, Pro Paneel also purchased an edgebander, so there were no plans to replace that. Despite that, after just two years, they decided to also purchase a “stefani x”. “In 2022 - continues Marcel - we went with the team to Italy to visit SCM at its production plant. We saw that this new model offered numerous advantages and we decided to purchase it anyway. We had plenty of work and still do, thankfully, so the decision was made fairly quickly”. The “stefani x” is an industrial edgebander. “The glueing operations are more effective when using PU glue, rendering the product waterproof. Furthermore, the finish is faster and better, requiring less manual work”.
The machine has a high-tech Multileaf glue scraper unit. “This innovation reduces finishing work to a minimum. This way, we achieve the maximum of what is currently possible. In addition, the machine is completely controlled via computer, and we can make umpteen adjustments very easily”. Marcel is extremely happy with the new edgebander and collaboration with SCM.
“The machines are of a very high quality, and the service and customer care are excellent. By accessing our processes remotely and continually monitoring them together with our experience, we often manage to make a lot of progress without the need for a technician. An aspect which has proven to be very important for us because everything needs to function for 40 hours a week or more. Of course, we want there to be as few downtimes as possible and we are working hard to continue to make a name for ourselves”.
