Comprehensive service for Finsa

“Servicio integral”
for a Siempelkamp customer by tradition

For Finsa, a leading European company in the wood-based materials sector, we carried out extensive modernizations in recent years. The company headquartered in Santiago de Compostela and a Siempelkamp customer for decades produces wood-based panel-type materials on our plants. The scope ranges from particle board to MDF to surface coating, special products such as superPan, a Finsa-specific product consisting of a particle board core layer and an MDF surface layer, to further processing of finished boards.

In 2017/18 we upgraded the forming and press line of the Finsa plant in Santiago de Compostela to the latest state of the art as part of a retrofit that took several weeks.
