ELCON Sawing Technology

In one of the wooden sheds of a small-sized shipyard in Hollands green-hearted lake district, still very near ELCON's present location, the first sawing machine saw the light in the year 1948. It was the result of the need to work timber for deck-houses at the one hand and the post-war lack of machinery on the other. The moment a neighbouring carpenter catched a glimpse of this remarkable piece of work, his interest was roused, and subsequently a new industry was born.
