HOLTEC USA CORPORATION

The Holtec® system began as an idea in 1966 when a customer brought to our attention problems he was experiencing in cutting lumber to length. We discussed his needs and designed a solution that would solve his problems: the concept of cutting an entire package of lumber at one time with speed and accuracy.

Although package crosscutting systems were previously attempted, none had performed with any degree of precision. We, however, were convinced that precision could be achieved in combination with speed. It was a goal we pursued diligently, and as a result, in 1967, the first HOLTEC® Precision Crosscutting System was installed in then-West Germany in 1967.

As a result of our innovative engineering, the precision of this system surpassed anything available at the time, firmly establishing HOLTEC® as the industry leader in package crosscut technology.

Our industry's technological and manufacturing advances have enabled us to achieve a precision of +/- lmm (.040") on all HOLTEC® installed stationary systems1. This accuracy has become an industry yardstick, and is our guarantee.

Today, we are proud to have over 6,000 systems operational in 30 countries worldwide, including more than 1,200 systems in North America.

In 1990, we inaugurated our Florida facility; a "working showroom" where you can put our systems to the test. Here you can see our renowned precision, speed and ease of performance, as well as witness the integrity of our systems' construction. It is also where you can meet the people of HOLTEC® in the United States. Professionals who share our same dedication to excellence and customer satisfaction.
