PGCNC CNCs now available in Romania through 24Wood

At Ligna 2025 we spoke to Piotr Checinski from PGCNC about the Polish company and the machines it produces.

The story of a family that grew from a few employees to 80

PGCNC (Polska Grupa CNC) is a family business in Zaleszany, Poland, built on the simple principle that the founders work in the company every day. The company started with a few employees and now employs over 80 people. They have grown without depending on external banks or investors. Their development has been achieved solely with their own resources. An unusual approach in a world where startups are always looking for the next round of funding.

"We do everything from A to Z" - and they do it

What makes PGCNC different from many competitors is that they produce virtually everything in-house. "We weld our own frames, we have our own painters, electricians, even the control panel is made in-house," Piotr explains as he shows me the machine on the stand.

The furniture machining center they were showing at the booth had the following specifications: 20 drills (12 vertical, 8 horizontal), 2 nesting saws, 2×3 meter work area and automatic tool changer for 12 tools. The vacuum table seemed strong enough to hold the material in place even in difficult conditions.

"Our technicians are perfectly familiar with fixing them because it's not something from another manufacturer. We know where everything is and how to make it work as well as possible," emphasizes Piotr.

Eye-catching 3D printer

But the star of the stand was the imposing 3D printer. With a Z-axis that allows printing up to 1.2 meters high, the machine was printing with polypropylene as we chatted. "It can use almost any thermoplastic - ABS, TPU, polyethylene," Piotr tells me.

What caught my eye is that you can mix different materials in the print. The brown pieces they were printing were mixed with wood - sawdust and MDF fibers. "We use Polish software and we're quite proud to have built this machine," he says.

"It was a magnet for everyone during the fair. Even people who weren't in the industry or weren't interested in buying stopped by to see how it works."

And it wasn't even the biggest one they built - the largest was nearly 2 meters Z-axis and could print up to 1.8 meters high.

Romanian partnership at Ligna

"We are proud to announce that we have partnered with 24Wood to be our distributor in Romania," said Piotr.

24Wood It's not a random company - Katharina Seiler and her team have been selling woodworking machinery on the Romanian market for many years.

"If you need a CNC machine, it doesn't matter if it's a 3D printer, a milling router or maybe you need a laser cutting machine, anything can be supplied by them," Piotr explains.

Three evenings to suit all budgets

PGCNC are not trying to be everything for everyone, but they have a well thought out range. The SPECIAL series are for small and medium workshops, the ATC series are designed for large factories, and the AUTO series are machining centers for the furniture industry with increasing automation requirements.

All can process a wide range of materials: wood, wood-based materials (chipboard, MDF, OSB), plastics (Plexiglas, PVC, HPL), composites and soft metals.

Why it matters for Romania

For the Romanian market, the partnership with PGCNC offers access to quality European technology at competitive prices, with local support. 24Wood promises fast delivery anywhere in Romania and service for the machines sold.

In a context where many Romanian companies are looking for alternatives to German or Italian giants, PGCNC's offer becomes interesting: European quality, more affordable prices and, perhaps most importantly, a family-owned company that understands that long-term relationships matter more than short-term sales.

For Romanian wood entrepreneurs, PGCNC and 24Wood offer a combination worth exploring: modern technology, local support and a business philosophy based on sustainability.
