Woodtech Machinery has added pallet-making machinery manufacturer Fere and vacuum lifting equipment specialist Joulin to its portfolio.

The agreements signal the next step in Woodtech’s planned expansion, according to sales director Justin Peckham. ‘We specialise in solid wood processing technology, and our strategy is to build our portfolio of leading edge manufacturers within this sector.’

Woodtech Machinery already represents Holtec, Linck, Paul and Nardi and Mr Peckham said: ‘And we haven’t finished yet. Discussions with another leading manufacturer who will further complement our range of services are at an advanced stage and we hope to conclude an agreement shortly.’
