Up to 30 % more yield, 350 mm cutting width: how Pfiffer Bútor engineered its own growth

A Hungarian solid wood specialist creates a competitive advantage in the face of rising raw material costs with thin-cutting technology from WINTERSTEIGER.

Pfiffer Bútor Mór Kft.

The family-run company from Mór in Hungary has three decades of experience with solid wood. Pfiffer Bútor manufactures high-quality solid wood furniture, furniture fronts, and interior design elements. The company's self-developed three-layer door construction – the Fortuna series – is its trademark. When raw material costs rise in the industry, Pfiffer does not scrimp on quality – it cuts more thinly.

The requirement that changed everything

Pfiffer Bútor developed a product so demanding that its own factory was not entirely capable of making it. The three-layer door construction required lamella precision that pushed existing capabilities to their limits.

The pain points

Growing demand for the company's self-developed three-layer doors exceeded the available process capacity.

Lamellas required precise thicknesses with minimal distortion – something that is extremely difficult to keep consistent with larger volumes.

Every millimeter of kerf was lost raw material. In the face of rising oak prices, yield became a strategic decision.

The solution: DSB Singlehead NG XM

As part of a publicly supported investment, Pfiffer Bútor acquired the DSB Singlehead NG XM – not as a replacement but as an enabler for an additional product line that could deliver more precision than the previous setup could offer.

Extremely thin kerf

More usable lamellas from every block – material pressure gave rise to a material advantage.

Dimensional accuracy

Consistent lamella thickness, crucial for stable three-layer designs in series production.

350 mm cutting width

Wider blocks, fewer processing steps, significantly higher throughput.

Faster set-up times

More energy-efficient operation keeps production running, even in the event of product changes.

Summary

Pfiffer did not just buy a machine – it unlocked the full potential of its own product design. Every wooden block is packed with potential, so when innovation outstrips production limitations, the right technology partner can release the hidden capabilities that were there all along.
