The first time that MAKOR Group exported a wood finishing machinery was 1970 in the United States. Since then, the company has been making much of its production outside the national borders, convinced that it was the only way to grow and improve.
Today, the Group has a strong presence on five continents: in the United States, still a reference market, but also in China, India, Germany, Russia, North Europe, South America, Australia, the Arabian Peninsula, etc.
Mask Group’s dynamism has led to joint ventures in more than 50 countries. 90% of turnover comes away from home.
As in 1970, today Makor Group is convinced that the best way to develop is to have a global vision. Knowledge must not have borders.

Community
Our company has 50 years of life. It’s a good goal. A number that tells a lot about what we are and what we want to become. More than somebody can imagine.
– Employee 1
What does this date tell us? That MAKOR Group story is a success story. Because you cannot stay on the market for so long unless you’re not competitive.
– Employee 2
For the same reasons, we have maintained a high standard of innovation. Otherwise, we could not grow gradually. Competition would have overwhelmed us.
– Employee 3
50 years are also a sign of our strength, the enthusiasm we put and the culture of work we are conveying. We always take it with us and make us appreciated among our customers.

Environment
What is the true meaning, the deep meaning of “Made in Italy” word? For Makor Group is the sense of work, the design ability, the culture of things made to art.
But not only this. It is the right relationship that the leading company in the design and manufacture of wood finishing machines has with the territory. With the surrounding environment.
Tuscany, the region of origin, preserves its history which is also made of landscape and territory. Makor Group has retained its ability to dialogue with the ecosystem in its design imprinting.
The company builds elaborate machines to deliver high performance but also to conserve energy, not waste materials, not to dispose of resources.
Despite being global, Makor Group feels strongly bound to a long tradition. From design to marketing, every piece that comes out of the production of Makor Group breathes also the environment surrounding the company.
Makor Group machinery can be considered as one of the world’s largest examples. A conception of things that goes beyond the profit and income statement.

Case history
Never done before
In 2014, Makor Group has installed a state-of-the-art high performance finishing plant for architectural mouldings at Bergene Holme, in Norway.
The demand was to have a universal and super-performing line in terms of compatibility with multiple types of profiles (indoor, outdoor, narrow, wide, etc.), very high production speed, and very low downtime for set up and maintenance.
Makor Group has created a line that regularly produces up to 30 mouldings per minute – 4.2 meters long. A goal that no one had achieved earlier.
The oven was the central element of the structure (2 levels, both implemented with drying elements, Makor’s exclusive prerogative). And it was built in full optional version (NIR modules, 10 airjet hoods with electric battery and IRM modules, refrigeration, automatic humidity control, etc.).
With this solution, BERGENE HOLM has been able to continue producing at competitive costs by expanding its production.

Case history
Is it normal?
The operator did not have lunch breaks, only 4.5 minutes for startups and 9 minutes for cleaning the machine after the shift. 67,396 linear meters of production!! Is it normal?
I forward you the report of our Makor line with an 8-hour shift operation.
The 1st green row indicates 1 hour of full production, red means machine stop.
