Precision sanding is a crucial step in woodworking and furniture manufacturing, ensuring flawless surfaces that meet the highest quality standards. To provide customers with best-in-class solutions, HOMAG and Heesemann have formed a strategic partnership, combining their expertise to deliver a comprehensive range of sanding machines for businesses of all sizes.
A stronger, more integrated offering
HOMAG has long been a leader in woodworking machinery, offering end-to-end solutions across the entire production process. Recognising the need to focus resources on core areas of innovation, HOMAG made the strategic decision to discontinue in-house production of wide belt sanding machines, instead collaborating with Heesemann, a company with a rich heritage in sanding technology.
Simon Brooks, Managing Director at HOMAG UK, explains: “Our goal is always to offer our customers the best possible solutions. By partnering with Heesemann, we ensure that they continue to have access to a high-performance sanding portfolio that integrates seamlessly with the rest of their production processes.”
This partnership allows HOMAG to retain its complete process chain offering while benefiting from Heesemann’s extensive expertise. Heesemann, in turn, has expanded its product portfolio, developing new entry-level sanding solutions while continuing to provide advanced, high-end systems. HOMAG and Heesemann also collaborate closely on sales and service, ensuring a smooth and efficient experience for customers worldwide.
Advanced sanding solutions for every need
Heesemann’s wide belt sanding machines are renowned for delivering perfect surfaces across a variety of applications, from solid wood and wood-based materials to veneer and lacquered finishes. These machines support essential processes such as calibration, fine sanding, brush sanding, and intermediate lacquer sanding, with innovative features designed for both efficiency and precision.
With sanding widths of 1,100mm, 1,350mm, and 1,650mm – and the ability to process workpieces from 3mm to 200mm thick – Heesemann machines cater to businesses of all sizes. The company’s advanced sanding units, including cross sanding, edge sanding, and 3D sanding technologies, make it the go-to choice for furniture manufacturers, joiners, and large-scale industrial operations.
“What’s exciting about this partnership is that it enhances our ability to support customers at every level, whether they need an entry-level sander or a high-end automated system,” adds Simon Brooks. “It’s about providing the right machine for the right application and ensuring it integrates perfectly within their wider production setup.”
Ongoing service and support
For existing HOMAG customers, service and support remain a priority. HOMAG continues to provide comprehensive after-sales care – including hotline support, on-site service, and spare parts – for sanding machines previously supplied under the BÜTFERING and HOMAG brands. Moving forward, HOMAG will support the service and maintenance of all sanding machines supplied under the partnership, ensuring customers continue to receive expert assistance backed by HOMAG’s extensive service network.
This is a partnership that continues to flourish, and for years to come will ensure businesses have access to the very best sanding solutions, backed by the service and expertise of two industry leaders.
