FURNITURE MANUFACTURING
PROUDLY VIETNAMESE
Jager uses technology whereby customers can
determine how their space is designed and
furnished without spending excessive time in
communication between furniture maker and
client. With this, the company aims to lead the
domestic furniture market and export to other
countries. Their clientele includes real estate
corporations, designers as well as individual
customers.
While maintaining their production, Jager
strives to incorporate “Vietnamese values and
pride” in each and every piece of the furniture
they make. They place a premium on beauty
and perfection, especially as the company
promises their customers a “high-class living
space” and “high living quality”.
MODERNISING MANUFACTURING
Apart from their company’s goals and vision,
Jager commits and invests in woodworking
automation. Le Quon Khanh, CEO of Jager,
recognises the need for technology in this
business. Jager’s first factory was equipped
with a panel saw, edgebander and computer
numerical control (CNC) system but when he
was planning for his new factory, he knew
he had to invest into a new, more automated
production to cater to the lower batch
environment. This commitment paid off.
“In 2009, I started research and learning in the
industry from my experiences doing business
with clients and handling previous projects,”
Khanh shared.
Aiding them in their technological journey was
HOMAG, which the CEO of Jager described as a
“key partner” and “one of the best decisions”
that the company had made to develop their
products successfully. He is proud to call Jager
a “modern, new-generation manufacturer”.
When Khanh set out to build his business,
he made his decisions based on two key
objectives: to create a company not dependent
on manpower, and to nurture one that
promotes effectiveness and sustainability.
HOMAG’s machines and solutions have helped
him with respect to these objectives.
Among HOMAG’s products that have
improved their manufacturing processes are
the STORETEQ S-200, a horizontal storage
system; SAWTEQ B-300, an integrated panel
saw; CENTATEQ N-300, an integrated CNC
nesting centre and another SAWTEQ B-300 as
an external panel saw. Other machines the
Vietnamese manufacturer utilised are HOMAG’s

Jager’s ongoing transformation reflects
not just the impacts of Industry 4.0, but the
potential that technology and automation
have on manufacturing, production, and
distribution in various industries.
GROWING WITH CUSTOMERS

solutions with Asian markets in mind. Jager’s
success and continual progress are not
only a reflection of how HOMAG commits to
helping its customers expand, but also proof
that manufacturers can grow and flourish
when they make the right investments in
automation and advanced woodworking
solutions. P
