Woodworking machinery - from a different perspective
The current global economic crisis is reshaping our worldwide perception of wood industry that has been long believed steady. Giant companies struggle for survival and customers' habits are also in change. Those, who want to keep their sales, need to change together with the altering market.
One of the world's leading suppliers of woodworking machinery and technologies, the Italian SCM Group, presented a new concept at this year's Ligna Hanover Fair. Since then, having merged the woodworking machine families belonging to the group, Casadei Macchine and Busellato CNC, the company has attempted to penetrate the market trough a new sales channel with a bit different approach. The two trademarks, both with a well-established name, have a long history as Casadei "has consumed" the world's wood stock since 1945 while Busellato has been on the market since 1956. They both have accumulated significant knowledge and experience.
The current marriage has resulted in the establishment of a new group working separately from the mother company and managing its own sales network to fully utilise the machinery manufacturing capacity available in Italy and to approach customers' trough new channels. Casadei-Busellato Group is now represented by a new company in Hungary as well. As a direct distributor, Ypszilon Hungary Engineering and Consulting Ltd. (Ypszilon Hungary Mérnöki és Tanácsadó Kft.), based in Zalaegerszeg, has become the "owner" of the technologies.
Ypszilon Hungary Engineering and Consulting Ltd. aims to sell woodworking machines and technology-similarly to outlets-in a simple way, fulfilling its customers' needs at the lowest cost possible.
There is no need to have a showroom, a warehouse or a huge office in Zalaegerszeg as even a simple planer can be ordered on the basis of a technical specification and a brochure introducing the machine. If a customer needs a CNC Working Centre, the company's fully equipped, Italian showroom is only a few hundred kilometers away where machines can be looked at and even tested for a trial run. The Hungarian distribution serves its customers from the logistic basis of the Italian parent company therefore both complete machines and spare parts arrive directly to the customers within as early as two or three days since borders within the EU have disappeared.
As our company has been working in this field for a long time, several services are available when selecting or purchasing a particular machine or technology, but the equipment can also be had without any extra services or consultancy at a basis price.
Needless to say, as an engineering office, Ypszilon offers consultancy, technology design, installation, transportation; it writes applications for funding, assists its customers in financial issues. With its extensive servicing network, it undertakes to refurbish its machines within the given and beyond warranty time until the agreed deadline so as to return the machines to production as soon as possible.
Having been present on the market with their technology for more than fifty years, Casadei and Busellato represent the complete range of woodworking machinery and technology of proof.
Casadei produces numerous horizontal beam saws, boring machines, thicknessing and surface planers. The company supplies the machines either as standard units or with professional, fully equipped design. Automatic edge banders, contact sanders and AXO Computer Controlled moulders with even 4.5 meter-long cutters are also listed in their product portfolio.
Busellato, a company producing CNC, has been active on this field since 1970. Its primary markets with the majority of its market shares include the USA and Canada, but it delivers products to satisfied customers all over the world. The company has sold several thousand CNCs working in jointer shops and woodworking units and produces a wide range of products including windows, doors, staircases or furniture.
