SCHOPLOCH, Germany – The Homag Group has acquired the remaining 20 percent of the shares in the automated handling systems company, System TM. 

Homag had already acquired 80 percent of the Danish engineering and manufacturing company in 2020. System TM offers machines and services for solid wood processing. The resulting elements can be used in timber house construction, among other things.

"With our solutions for timber construction, we have built up a second business segment in recent years in addition to systems for furniture production," explained Dr. Daniel Schmitt, CEO of Homag Group AG. We continue to see great growth potential in this area - particularly in timber house construction - and are continuously strengthening our activities. The complete takeover of our successful subsidiary System TM is a logical step in this direction."

As already planned at the time of the purchase in 2020, Homag Group AG has acquired the missing 20 percent from the management of System TM, which continues to manage the company. CEO Jan J. Samuelsen emphasized. "We described Homag as the ideal partner in the 2020 takeover. This is still true, as the products for timber construction complement each other very well, making us one of the world's leading system suppliers of production technology for the solid wood sector."
