Whether we’re dealing with Maximum care in the design and manufacturing of timber construction projects. This is Hans Hunziker Holzbau’s strong point. “Our products are built at the factory, assembled and delivered directly to the worksite. Whether we’re dealing with construction parts or windows and doors from our joinery workshop, accurate design is key to determining the success of each individual project,” explains Simon Fuchs, deputy general director and head of timber construction at this Swiss company.
“Right from our first meeting, we realised we had found able partners in Daniel Ott, SCM Schweiz’s Country Manager and Igor Tartagni from SCM’s team Service. The new SCM machining centre has been operational now for six months and is a real pleasure to use. Thanks to this solution, we have become even more flexible with our production, which is something greatly appreciated by the market”.
“Right from the outset, we found in Simon Fuchs and Hans Hunziker Holzbau AG partners who know exactly what they’re looking for and understand their company’s needs,” says Daniel Ott. On the other hand, our ‘oikos x’ machining centre for timber construction is becoming increasingly technological, flexible and powerful, and this is why the market appreciates it even more”.
As Daniel Ott explains, the solution offers numerous advantages. For example, its laser probe offers an unparalleled precision which makes it ideal for creating dovetail joints and pockets. Another key advantage comes from the modern Maestro beam&wall software which satisfies more or less any request, offering great programming flexibility and fast execution. A guide carriage combined with pressure rollers right next to the work area offers excellent machining quality.
Furthermore, the innovative 6-axis operating unit allows for any kind of machining on every side of the piece with a single positioning, with no need to turn it over, thus reducing bulk to a minimum and cutting back considerably on the number of tool change operations, thanks to the innovative combined tools, designed by SCM and ideal for rapidly and accurately creating timber frame projects.
Hans Hunziker Holzbau was founded in 1905 at a time of great technological progress, on the initiative of Robert Hunziker who, at that time, ran a joinery workshop and sawmill. He died of pneumonia at the age of 31 and the business was taken over by his brother, Hans Hunziker. In 1955, the company became a joint-stock company with a construction and civil engineering department, a sawmill, joinery workshop and timber construction department. The building and civil engineering department gradually grew to become the core business.
With more than a century of history behind it, it continues to be a solid company focusing on the future. The range of services offered in the construction sector has grown constantly and the timber construction and joinery divisions have been absorbed into the newly founded Hans Hunziker Holzbau AG.
