Striebig left the show in positive mood after selling machines and detecting visitor confidence.

“Everybody was surprised about the quality of contacts,” said Striebig’s Marco Rees. “Carpenters said they had enough work until after the summer. If you’re not into exports, then business is OK.”

The company unveiled its updated Evolution and Control models featuring touch screen operating systems.

Striebig said the updated Control now also has the benefits of a horizontal beam saw. It features a special equipment option 4SB for lower trimming cuts with ABO – the option for automatic upper trimming cuts. An electronic positioning system has been improved and fully integrated into the touchscreen to ease positioning of cutting axes for horizontal and vertical cuts.
