New from Hymmen at Ligna 2025 in Hannover

Furniture Journal Magazine, May 2025, S. 61

An intensive exchange with familiar and new visitors in a pleasant lounge atmosphere is as important for Hymmen as the presentation of all the latest production technologies and industry intelligence solutions to manufacturers of flooring, furniture, laminates, wood-based materials, building materials and engineered wood. Exciting eye-catchers will also attract visitors to the stand who are not yet familiar with Hymmen.

Hymmen is once again presenting product samples from its own customers: The lounge seating areas are placed on digitally decorated and textured flooring (JUPITER and Digital Lacquer Embossing DLEplus) from producers around the world. Surfaces that have also been run through other Hymmen systems like Calender Coating Inert (CCI) Technology, presses or laminating lines are installed in a kitchen unit.

“We want to show that we are the usual dependable experts in machine and plant construction and at the same time always think one step ahead in process improvement,” emphasizes Dr. René Pankoke, managing partner and CEO of Hymmen. With these two goals in mind, a single-daylight laboratory press in innovative design colors will be on display at the trade fair stand. It is otherwise used in the Hymmen technical center to evaluate processes to produce veneer plywood and multilayer boards together with customers. Films of systems in real operation underline the practical relevance of the exhibited technologies. 

As a contrasting program to the old-school steel, Hymmen presents its Industry Intelligence solutions. The cost-saving Digital Twin will bring production systems to the trade fair stand virtually. Here the AR (augmented reality) glasses are a special highlight. The in-house developed but now Hymmen-independent software solution smart2i increases efficiency during commissioning and throughout the customer's entire production operation. Also, other industries or system brands can use smart2i in their interlinked production processes in. Dashboards show visitors diagrams displaying relevant data transparently and how KPIs can identify potential for improvement following an intelligent analysis.
