Siempelkamp: a record year

The Siempelkamp Group (www.siempelkamp.com), a world market leader in continuous press lines for the wood-based products industry, operates worldwide in the areas of machine building, foundry technology and nuclear technology. All three business areas achieved tremendous success in 2007. The total order value is exceeding 700 million euros and total sales around 500 million euros.

Hans W. Fechner – Ceo of Siempelkamp – said that the utilization of all business units is secured until mid-2009.

The machine building branch of the company was the most successful unit in 2007. As part of the forming and press lines for wood-based products, the continuous press “ContiRoll^®” was sold 20 times.

Siempelkamp will expand the production capacities for continuous presses in order to shorten the waiting period. These measures will take effect in the fourth quarter of 2008.
