Nuremberg, 18-21 March
Pavilion 10.0 – stand 303
SCM will take part in the up-and-coming edition of Holz-Handwerk (Nuremberg, 18-21 March 2020) where it will present to the international market its integrated process technologies. These solutions meet the widest range of production demands for secondary wood processing.

As an indication of just how the Nuremberg Event represents an important appointment for the Italian Company, SCM will present itself with a new design and concept aimed at increasingly highlighting the continuous brand strengthening in this sector.
The exhibiting area in Hall 10.0, stand 303 will have a completely new look&feel; sturdy, solid, industrial and more in line with the Group's solidity and closer to the production framework of its partner companies. An exclusive and essential guise, starting with the choice of materials respecting Eco Standards, and in line with the Corporate Social Responsibility programme already in place since 2019. Indeed, the Group implemented a programme of concrete actions to reduce refuse and waste aimed at encouraging all 4,000 of its employees across the globe to adopt a more eco-sustainable, environmentally aware lifestyle.
At the Holz-Handwerk stand, the vast range of technologies and services which have always allowed the Italian Group to stand out, will be arranged into five working areas made of cells and stand alone machines integrated with one another, dedicated to different areas of application:
"This edition of the Nuremberg Trade Fair is set to become a key spotlight for SCM, ready to show off its vast range of top quality technologies, designed and developed to be of assistance to every woodworking business, from furniture, to doors and windows, to joinery" highlights Luigi De Vito, SCM Division Director.

In these five areas, visitors will have a chance to discover how the most innovative SCM models integrate with one another to inject life into strong performing, solid processes, aimed at making each machining stage easier and faster, whether you are a small artisan business or a vast multinational production plant. All the control processes for the machine, associated software and the entire production flow will be visible at a single glance.
THE GERMAN MARKET TREND AND PRIORITIES FOR 2020
The new entries on show at Nuremberg are the result of the strategic vision of a vast, solid business Group which ended 2019 in line with its record results from 2018 and a turnover in excess of 700 million Euro, of which, 70% in the timber division alone.
On the German market, in particular, 2019 once again saw the Group consolidate its excellent growth recorded over the last five years with a C.A.G.R. of 13.5%. An outstanding result if compared to the overall market trend recorded in the same five year period, down -3.8%.
Credit also goes to the strategy implemented by SCM, based on consistent, steady investments which see them increasingly providing client assistance: an ever more widespread presence of its technical assistance and further strengthening of the sales team, to offer an all-round consultancy service in advance of its sales service.
It also guarantees significant, regular investments in R&D in line with the important transformations under way in production technologies and once again, in 2020, the priorities will lie with Innovation, digitalisation and client support.
On this subject, at the Nuremberg Fair, the area assigned to digital solutions will keep its central location. In the area focusing on the new “SCM Integrated digital woodworking process” concept, visitors will have a chance to discover Software solutions and Digital Services specifically designed for planning, preparation and production, as well as monitoring, maintenance and servicing.
