Holz-her Gmbh

What Holz-her Gmbh does

Holz-her GmbH is a German manufacturer of woodworking and panel-processing machinery, headquartered in Nürtingen, Germany, with production in Voitsberg, Austria, and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the WEINIG Group (Michael Weinig AG). Founded in 1914, the company employs 350+ people and supplies industrial CNC machining centers, vertical edgebanders, panel saws, and panel storage systems for carpenters, joiners, furniture manufacturers, and window/door producers.

The product portfolio spans entry-level through industrial machines and is built around several proprietary process technologies, including the Glu Jet glue application system, LTRONIC NIR-based Laseredge zero-joint edgebanding, PRO-TORQUE spindle control, CUTCONTROL 2 saw optimization, the MagnetX automatic machine table for the EPICON edgebander, the POWER-PIN 7605 high-performance CNC, and the EVOLUTION PinJet vertical processing center with integrated high-frequency dowel insertion. The iTronic control platform ties these systems together and supports connected-machine features via the WEINIG App and Teleservice digital service offering.

Holz-her generates revenue primarily through capital-equipment sales of CNC machining centers, edgebanders, panel saws, and storage systems, complemented by tooling, service, and digital service contracts. Go-to-market is conducted through a multi-continent dealer and direct sales network spanning Germany, Austria, Italy, France, the UK, the USA, Canada, and Asia, with strong visibility at LIGNA and other industry trade shows. Customer segments are weighted toward independent carpentry and furniture SMBs, with selected enterprise customers in window/door manufacturing. As a privately held WEINIG subsidiary, Holz-her does not publish standalone revenue.

• Leitz GmbH & Co. KG: Leitz is a leading manufacturer of precision tooling (cutters, saw blades, drills) for the wood and panel processing industry. While not a machine OEM, Leitz's tooling is used extensively on Holz-her machines, making it an ecosystem peer and indirect competitor in delivering cut quality.

Emerging players

• Masterwood S.p.A. Masterwood is an Italian CNC machining center specialist focused on nested-based and through-feed CNC solutions for furniture, cabinet and door manufacturers. It competes with Holz-her's DYNESTIC nesting CNC and EPICON lines, particularly in the European furniture manufacturing segment.

Regional players

• Wintersteiger AG: Wintersteiger is an Austrian manufacturer of specialized machinery for wood and metal processing, ski manufacturing and sports equipment, with a regional DACH focus. Less directly overlapping with Holz-her's full product line but competes in niche woodworking machine segments from the same Austrian/German-speaking base.
