CMC TEXPAN, or Carpenterie Metalliche
di Colzate, was established in 1962 as a
manufacturer of metal structural elements for
the textile and mechanical industry. It then
shifted its attention to the nascent industry of
wood composites, focusing on the fabrication
of woodworking machinery for particleboard,
medium-density fibreboard (MDF) and oriented
strand board (OSB). The company commenced a
cooperation with Siempelkamp, and throughout
the years, the relationship got more consolidated
until CMC TEXPAN became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the German enterprise, a member
of the Siempelkamp Group.
Its product portfolio encompasses a
spectrum of machinery and equipment
dedicated to different stages of woodbased
panel production: storage silos
and extraction systems such as moving
floors, hydraulic extractors, and rotating
screw extractors; cleaning and classifying
equipment such as magnetic separators;
dry chip cleaners; gravimetric separators;
oscillating screening machines; disc and
roller separators; low- and high-speed glue
blenders; multiple-head forming stations
for particleboard; and dosing and weighing
equipment.
Now, CMC TEXPAN provides complete solutions
for the wood-based products industry, ranging
from the design, engineering, manufacture,
erection, commissioning and start-up of
new production plants to the revamping,
modernisation and optimisation of existing lines
and machines.
Members of the Siempelkamp Group work
closely, especially in the development
of new, complete production plants,
starting from the wood yard. Along with
projects managed inside the Siempelkamp
Group, CMC TEXPAN also operates direct
business activities related to machinery
