Dear Prospective Customer:

The success of Holtec^® systems in the United States can be attributed to many elements, but essentially, I believe it's due to the quality and integrity of our product.
     Since our inception in 1967, our fundamental commitment has been to manufacture a system with superior quality at a competitive price.
     Increasing demand, along with the diverse requirements of our worldwide customer base, resulted in the 1989 inauguration of our new manufacturing facilities in Blumenthal, Germany. This plant incorporates the most technologically advanced digital and computerized manufacturing processes, enabling us to satisfy our increasing production requirements while firmly maintaining quality control.
     Our substantial growth from one system in 1967, to over six thousand systems today in 30 countries worldwide, can be attributed to not only our fundamental commitment, but also our rigid operating procedures, specifically:

• To thoroughly analyze our customers' needs
• To design the proper system to meet those needs
• To ensure the system functions properly and safely
• To install all stationary systems with HOLTEC^® trained technicians
• To train the customer proficiently in its operation
• To provide uncompromising after-sales support

     HOLTEC^® customers in the United States clearly have the same ideals as our customers worldwide. They prefer to invest in superior construction and a system that can be relied upon to perform flawlessly. Our objective at HOLTEC^® will always be to provide this assurance of reliability.
     Thank you for inquiring on our systems. We sincerely hope to be able to service all of your requirements soon.

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.
