Martin Eisele (CEO Brunegg AG)
For many, Heesemann is the epitome of grinding. As the world market leader in wood sanding machines, we can therefore rightly say that we are one step ahead of our competitors. But why do customers choose Heesemann? We're asking.
Talking today: Martin Eisele, CEO of “Brunex — Die Tür der Schweizer. ”
Mr. Eisele, you are CEO at Brunegg AG. With your Brunex brand, you are the leading door manufacturer in Switzerland and supply high-quality doors to meet the highest customer requirements. Your new plant in Brunegg also has two Heesemann grinding machines. Why Heesemann in particular?
You've actually already answered the question yourself. We are a renowned manufacturer and a strong brand in Switzerland, and we only wanted to work with the best. And since it's about grinding, the decision was clear relatively quickly. For us, grinding means: Heesemann.
In addition, Heesemann met all target criteria and the personal contact was great right from the start. Overall, we simply had a good feeling.
In addition to feeling good, what was particularly important to you when choosing a machine?
As you mentioned at the beginning, we built a completely new plant in 2015, using the latest technology, of which we are also very proud. The new grinding machine had to be integrated into the existing production line, be fully automatically controlled and be able to communicate with other machines in the production chain.
In addition to the technical equipment, one thing was and is particularly important to us: our employees. We would like to offer you an attractive workplace, a modern system that is easy to operate and fun to work at. The Heesemann comes across quickly, with its large display, it looks modern and is overall valuable and attractive.
Of course, the grinding result and usability were primarily decisive, but not alone.
Which Heesemann machines do you use?
An MFA 10 for the road and an MFA Impression for custom production.

What exactly is being done on these machines?
Standard processes for surface treatment of doors, such as calibrating or grinding, are shown. So actually nothing special, but fully automated and of consistent quality.
The MFA10 is our “egg-laying woolly milk sow”. It is in the street and must therefore be integrated into the overall process. Flexibility was particularly important to us, for example by quickly changing sanding belts and programs as well as minimal set-up times.
The MFA Impression is a stand-alone solution and is intended for custom manufacturing of special or oversized parts.

The great thing was that we had the opportunity to configure and adapt the new machines exactly to our requirements. In the end, this was also the deciding factor for the collaboration with Heesemann.
How long have the machines been in use?
For about 2 years.
Were there any problems or complaints with the machine during this time?
Integration into a production line is never immediately easy, but everything was within normal limits. The great thing was that through intensive personal contact, all problems could be solved together. The theory-practice process worked brilliantly. We always felt that we were in good hands and it is extremely reassuring to know that this will continue to be the case with Heesemann in the future. Good choice then! (grins)
Is there a measurable increase in productivity as a result of the new machine? Can you now offer certain door designs that were not possible before?
Our product range is the same as before, we can continue to offer everything. The big advantage is that we have shorter set-up times and therefore longer running times and that our flexibility has increased.
Would you buy a Heesemann again? Why would you recommend Heesemann?
Yes, definitely! The machine performance is right, our own employees are satisfied, the service is great and the personal contact is right. What more could you want?
Mr. Eisele, one last sentence: “For me, Heesemann stands for...”
... grinding machines. That is a Heesemann, she stands for quality & reliability.
Mr. Eisele, thank you very much for the interesting conversation and continued success.
