Description

Houtwerk Ltd  wants to purchase a double-disc angle sawmill, thereby adding to the range of woodworking equipment, which will allow to ensure a larger volume of processed products, as the proportion of manual work will be reduced and the hard work will be partially eased. Together with the band saw, the double-disc angle sawmill will allow the production of a new product – unplaned boards. The company also plans to purchase a planer at its own expense in order to be able to produce planed boards or wagon boards.

A double-disk angle sawmill is necessary because it will allow to use round wood as a raw material for the production of boards. Boards can also be made from sawdust that can be purchased from other companies, but in today''s economic climate, this is expensive and not economically viable. Thus, purchasing a double-disc angle sawmill and using it together with a band saw will streamline the company''s work, increase productivity and quality.

Along with the purchase of new equipment, the company will create additional jobs for local residents. As production output increases, taxes paid in the budget will also increase, which will contribute to the municipality.
