— From Italy to China: A Satisfying Plywood Equipment Upgrade Experience
Egypt has a long-standing tradition in furniture manufacturing and is one of the most concentrated furniture production hubs in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region. With over 100,000 furniture workshops across the country—mainly small to medium-sized woodworking factories—the demand for plywood and related production equipment is extremely high. In response, several local plywood production bases have been established to supply the plywood to the furniture, interior decoration, and construction formwork industries.
Customer Background: Alfannia Wood Industries
Alfannia Wood Industries is a well-known plywood manufacturer based in Alexandria, Egypt, specializing in the production of 18mm blockboard plywood, it supplies to furniture makers and building material wholesalers. The company’s director, Mr. Mohammed, initially purchased most of his equipment from Italy. While the machines were stable in quality, their high purchase cost and expensive maintenance became a burden over time.
Equipment Upgrade Need: Replacing an Edge Cutting Machine
As production demand grew and customer orders became more diversified, Mr. Mohammed decided to upgrade an old plywood edge cutting machine in his line. Since his plywood products often vary in size, he was looking for a solution that offered adjustable cutting dimensions, stable performance, and cost-effectiveness.
Turning to Chinese Manufacturing: Choosing Linyi Guoyu
Mr. Mohammed visited several plywood DD Saw manufacturers in China. After touring the factory of Linyi Guoyu Machinery Co., Ltd, he was impressed by our production craftsmanship, selection of key components, and overall machine build quality.
We arranged a live demonstration of our plywood edge cutting machine, showcasing its excellent cutting precision, speed, and ease of operation. After a technical discussion, we recommended a multi-functional edge cutting machine with adjustable cutting width to meet his need for processing plywood in different sizes.
Mr. Mohammed was highly satisfied with both the machine’s quality and its price, and he signed the purchase contract for one unit on the spot.
🚚 Quick Delivery and Full Service Support
The machine was completed within just one month and shipped smoothly to Egypt. After arrival, we sent technical engineers to the customer’s site to assist with installation and commissioning. The machine ran smoothly with precise cutting, significantly improving plywood quality and production efficiency.
Mr. Mohammed expressed his satisfaction by saying:
“This plywood edge cutting machine truly showed me the excellent value and reliability of Chinese-made equipment.”
🌍 Positive Reputation: Inspiring More Local Clients
In the months following the installation at Alfannia, three nearby plywood manufacturers visited the factory to see the machine in operation. Impressed by its performance and stability, they also decided to purchase the same model from us.
This successful collaboration not only strengthened our customer base in Egypt, but also expanded the visibility and reputation of the ‘Linyi Guoyu’ brand across the Middle East.
