Our engineering expertise.

Because every link in your production chain

needs to be just as strong as all the others.

Steinemann’s wide-belt sanding machines are ideal for all substrates such as particleboard, MDF, plywood,

OSB, laminates and others. Because we offer such a broad range of model types and working widths – with

the added benefits of modular design – you can tailor our machines to suit your individual manufacturing

processes and quality requirements. Our latest success story is the SATOS series, with patented mineral

cast technology ensures exceptional vibration-free sanding, providing an even higher degree of precision for

which Steinemann machines are renowned.

� �

Our abrasives expertise.

Because we engineer the critical link between machine

and work piece. Rather than leaving it to chance.

compatibility between the sanding machine and the abrasive is a critical success factor when finishing

panels. Steinemann has developed its own range of abrasive materials and accessories that give customers

advantages: on the one hand, ordering from a single source saves time and money in procurement. On the

other, the innovative concept ensures even greater precision and consistency in the sanding process.

Our service expertise.

Because our solutions are designed to be not just the most

efficient and precise. But also the longest lasting.

Our experienced engineering and manufacturing specialists, seamless customer support processes, as well

as service centres throughout the world ensure that Steinemann machines give uninterrupted top-quality

performance. Moreover, we are increasingly able to solve service problems remotely, slashing maintenance

time and costs. yet our commitment to protecting your investment goes far beyond service and mainte-

nance: our modular machine upgrades enable existing installations to be adapted to evolving specifications

and the latest technological achievements.

1�1�

Our spare parts expertise.

Because we are determined to prove that Steinemann

is the right choice. Day after day, year after year.

A production stop is very costly for a panel manufacturing plant. That is why Steinemann’s logistics service

for spare parts is designed to ensure your machines keep running and delivering the quality you expect.

components for all our machines are kept available for many years, and can usually be ordered from stock

within 48 hours. Thanks to the OSIPARTS internet platform, Steinemann is also the only provider to allow its

customers to identify components, calculate and send their spare parts or replacements orders online – on a

24/7 basis from anywhere in the world.

1� 1�

Our process expertise.

Because for us, machines, abrasives and services have

a clear determination. Your specific benefit.

The individual configuration of the sanding process plays a crucial role in meeting your quality, performance

and cost-efficiency objectives. here too Steinemann supports the panel manufacturing industry, with both

engineering concepts for new installations and re-engineering concepts for existing sanding machines. each

of our solutions is based on state-of-the-art technical know-how and an in-depth analysis of the sanding and

finishing process which is tailored to the individual customer. To ensure optimal transfer of know-how, we

also provide intensive on-site consulting and training.

1� 1�

With the panel manufacturing industry becoming increasingly global, Steinemann is at home anywhere in the

world. In addition to its manufacturing centre in Switzerland, a dense network of branch offices and agencies

ensures proximity to markets and customers. Our daily dialogue with the users of our machines is especially

beneficial for our R&D department, which is constantly engaged in anticipating the demands and opportu-

nities of the future. no matter how much we innovate, one thing will never change: the characteristic Swiss

precision and reliability for almost half a century.

Our company.

Because Swiss innovation and strong international presence

make a winning combination in the panel industry.

We would prefer to demonstrate our expertise personally rather

than through a brochure. We look forward to your challenge.
