Advanced production technologies for high-quality furniture surfaces: Practical insights based on real cases

On June 4 and 5, 2026, the B2B industrial network möbelfertigung, in collaboration with interzum forum Italy, will hold the Surface in Motion Italia event for the second time in the city of Bergamo. The congress is aimed at the wood-based panel industry, furniture manufacturers, interior designers, suppliers and users of the sector. During the meeting, industry experts will exchange knowledge on current topics linked to design, technologies and market trends. Hymmen provides the furniture sector with advanced production technologies for high-quality surfaces. Through practical cases, Dr. René Pankoke will clearly illustrate the specific advantages of each technological solution during his lecture. The first case study focuses on the British kitchen manufacturer Wren Kitchens, which uses Hymmens Calender Coating Inert (CCI) technology to achieve high-gloss or super matte finishes on its kitchen surfaces. In the second case, Pankoke will explain the efficiency benefits that double-belt press technology brings to the production of countertops. kitchen at the EGGER Group plant in Poland. Alternatively, some manufacturers also use lamination lines for the production of countertops. However, these solutions are mainly used for surface coating and edge coating of furniture panels, as well as for finishing back panels. In addition, the presentation will include an overview of Hymmens digital printing technologies for furniture manufacturers. Digital printing solutions for patterns and textures offer new design possibilities with maximum flexibility and cost efficiency. The patented and proven Digital Lacquer Embossing (DLEplus) system can be integrated both downstream of Hymmens JUPITER series single-pass digital printers and downstream of multi-pass printers. Its integration into liquid coating lines is also possible. Surface in Motion is part of interzum forum Italy and will be open free of charge to all visitors to the fair. The event will have simultaneous translation into Italian and English, with Italian being the main language of the conferences. Attendees will be able to enjoy high-level presentations and excellent networking opportunities. In addition to the conference program, sponsors and exhibitors will be invited by the organizers to a networking dinner to be held on the evening of the first day of the event at a top-class restaurant in Bergamo. Dr. René Pankoke will present on the first day of the conference, June 4, 2026 at 4:00 p.m., where he will share practical perspectives based on real cases on production technologies for the manufacture of furniture.More information:Dr. Anke PankokeHead of Marketing / PRHymmen GmbH Maschinen- und AnlagenbauTheodor-Hymmen-Straße 333613 Bielefeld, GermanyTel.: +49 521 5806 184Fax: +49 521 5806 3184Email: A.Pankoke@hymmen.com
