What it means for you

One contact for the machine, from quote to service

As general representative, we are the link between you and the manufacturer. You talk to us about choosing and quotes, delivery and commissioning, training, service and parts, and we make sure the factory's knowledge stands behind every answer.

For machines your production relies on, it isn't enough that they're good on arrival. Five or ten years on, there has to be someone who knows them, can source a part and understands your work.

So we don't try to sell the biggest machine. We try to sell the one you'll actually use.

Plant design

A new plant,
from design to dust extraction

We provide complete design of new and existing production plants, including top-quality dust extraction systems, in partnership with Coima Group.

If you're planning a new plant or reorganising an existing one, talk to us early, while the layout of machines and services is still easy to change.

The manufacturer

SCM, seven decades of woodworking machines

SCM began in Rimini in 1952, when the Gemmani and Aureli families built their first woodworking machine. The company is still owned by its founding families.

In the 1980s and 1990s it was joined by well-known Italian makers: Minimax, Gabbiani, DMC, Morbidelli, Stefani and others. Since 2017 they have all worked under one brand, SCM, and their names now mark ranges of machines.

So one manufacturer covers the whole of wood and panel processing, from sizing, edge banding and CNC machining to sanding, pressing and finishing.
