PANEL MANUFACTURING
Individual strengths
combined to provide
all-round panel-sizing
solutions
Anthon and Anthon Handling Systems
(AHS) have been operating jointly on the
market for two years. Anthon specialises
in machines, systems and complete
production lines, including software
solutions for the panel processing
industry, ready for the Industry 4.0
era. The company established AHS at
the Hemmoor site in Lower Saxony,
Germany, which resulted from the
takeover of assets in January 2020 of the
insolvent J.B. Anlagen.
Headed by Klaus and Ove Lange,
Anthon’s development and production
are based in Flensburg, Schleswig-
Holstein, Germany, and its products are
sold globally. At its headquarters, the
company employs a total of around 180
people, and in Hemmoor, 68 employees
work for the company.
Today, Anthon is a partner to various
industries, including panel production,
the furniture industry, wood-based
materials industry, and building
materials industry. The focus of the
product portfolio continues to be
panel-sizing technology; in particular,
panel saws with a cutting height of
180-320mm, through-feed saws with
several sawing units, and batch-size-one
systems. AHS complements the product
portfolio with its feeding and stacking,
conveying and sorting, as well as
packaging and strapping competencies.
Development, design and software
programming are also available in-house.
The merger has enabled the individual
strengths to be combined, and as a
result, they now see themselves in a
position to present an all-round package
to a variety of customers. P
