After only two years on the Romanian machinery market, WoodMatic becomes sole distributor of KDT Machinery

Starting February 2022, Sanitopowner of the brand WoodMatic, becomes sole distributor KDT Machineryafter only two years on the Romanian furniture machinery market. The well-known Asian manufacturer, with production and research capacities in Europe and Asia, also owns the WDMAX for which WoodMatic has been a distributor for the past two years. The speed with which WoodMatic has imposed itself on the Romanian market has prompted representatives KDT Machinery to offer it exclusivity in Romania for the distribution of the machines they produce. The news was enthusiastically presented by WoodMatic, honored by the trust.

KDT Machinery, a colossus with thousands of square meters of production and research capacity

KDT Machinery is Asia's largest manufacturer of machinery for the furniture industry, one of the world leaders in the research and production of automated equipment and lines for furniture manufacturing. The company is headquartered in Guangzhou - China, with research and development centers in Italy and South Korea and production bases in Rimini, Italy and Chengdu, Sichuan, and is listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. The company's portfolio includes automatic canting machines, moving-table circular or package-formatting machines, CNC milling and drilling machines, automatic production lines and even turnkey factories.

KDT is constantly developing and adapting to the market. After acquiring the Italian company Masterwood in 2018, known for its CNC production and innovations in the field, in the following years it has focused on investing in new production capacity to meet the growing demand for machines. The fourth factory, in Guangzhou, was commissioned at the end of 2020. With this new investment, the company's production capacity has increased by 50%.

In the last quarter of 2021, KDT started the construction of a production capacity for computer-controlled machines. With a usable area of 160,000 m², it will be one of the world's largest factories dedicated to intelligent machinery in the furniture industry. Construction work will be completed in 2023. Once operational, the factory will have the capacity to produce 10,000 smart machines annually. Pack-formatting circulators, drilling CNCs, milling CNCs and combined CNCs will be manufactured here.

WoodMatic plans for the future

WoodMatic's debut as a machinery distributor on the Romanian market took place at a very bad time. It was the beginning of the pandemic and everything seemed to stop in its tracks. The company's representatives took advantage of this period to get up to speed with the technical data on the machines and to get as accurate and complete a picture of the market as possible.

When things got going again, they started to conquer the market step by step, helped by the very good quality/price ratio of the machines they sold. The suspension of the trade fairs was another disadvantage because they no longer had an organized framework in which to present their machines. So they started setting up a showroom in Comănești. It was not an easy investment to bear, but absolutely necessary in the new circumstances.

WoodMatic's efforts were noticed by KDT Machinery who decided to entrust it with the exclusive representation of the brand on the Romanian market.

"KDT Machinery's trust honors and stimulates us. We feel that we've entered the league where the big boys play, that we're colleagues with Messi and Ronaldo. We are impressed every day by the machines we discover, like children with new toys, and we can't wait to show them to you. The level of quality and automation is impressive and the prices are still the right ones." - said company representatives.

The company's offer is now more diversified. Machines for small and medium-sized factories continue to be present, but interlinked solutions, production lines and automation dedicated to large manufacturers in the furniture industry have also emerged. The machines incorporate state-of-the-art technology and the prices make this technology accessible to a wider range of manufacturers.

"Now, any manufacturer in the industry will find the right solutions with us, from entry-level to state-of-the-art. We'll be able to offer fully automated production lines and even turnkey factories, and our technical teams will be there to support you during installation and beyond. Even though we started at a difficult time for the global economy, we are more confident and determined than ever. We are used to hardship, in 2020 we started in the middle of a pandemic and we succeeded. We will succeed now because we have a reliable partner, modern and robust machinery, capable people and an unbeatable quality/price ratio.", says the WoodMatic press release.
