Välinge, HOMAG Optimize Support for Flooring Licensees

Välinge Innovation announce it has signed a cooperation agreement with machine supplier HOMAG China that allows Välinge to offer its licensees in China local support for automated inserters for both the 5G Fold Down locking system and Threespine click furniture technology.

“We want our licensees to have the best experience possible and this agreement will mean even more advantages to our partners in China,” said Magnus Holgesson, regional manager for China and Asia, Välinge Innovation. “Now installation, commissioning, after-market support offering corrective and preventative maintenance and access to spare parts will all be available locally — it’s a whole new level of convenience and care.”

The addition of the automated inserter in a 5G or Threespine production line brings with it several benefits over manual insertion, the company said. Productivity and quality control are increased as the floorboards or furniture panels are only handled once in the process — freeing resources and factory floor space and ensuring a consistent, quality insertion from a machine that is both easy to use and service.
