Electric Sennebogen Material Handler Complements State-Of-The-Art Sawmill

The sawmilling industry has continued its meteoric rise despite the strained economic situation in many other industries. In response to this surge in demand, one of Germany's largest wood processing companies, GELO Holzwerke decided in 2020 to make a far-reaching investment in a new small-diameter wood sawmill. And a featured machine in the sawmill is a Sennebogen 835 E electric material handler which is now responsible for all its log handling duties.

At the end of 2020 and after 11 months of construction, the 750,000+ ft² (70,000 m²) plant in the Wunsiedel Energy Park went into operation exactly as scheduled. GELO Holzwerke along with a strategic partner combined to invest almost 40 million euros into the new site, where 50,000 solid cubic ft.
