Dixon Timber Products, of Doncaster, has added a second Striebig vertical panel saw to its workshop.
The company, which supplies panel-based furniture to hospitals and primary care centres, bought an Evolution 6224 to replace an elderly Holz-Her saw.
Dixon managing director John Dixon said the older Holz-Her was getting less accurate and was restricted in terms of what materials could be sawn.
Mr Dixon said another advantage of having two Striebigs operating side-by-side was familiarity, since operators could switch easily between machines to provide cover for sickness and holidays.
Both saws cut MFC, MDF and chipboard panels used as worktops, as well as laminates and solid surfaces.
Dixon increased turnover by 25% in 2008 and said its order book remained “remarkably healthy”.
