Advanced Production Technologies for High-Quality Furniture Surfaces: Practical Insights Based on Case Studies

On June 4 and 5, 2026, the B2B industry network möbelfertigung, in cooperation with interzum fo

rum Italy, will host the Surface in Motion Italia in Bergamo for the second time. The congress is 

aimed at the wood-based materials industry, users, furniture manufacturers, interior designers, and 

upstream suppliers. Join industry experts as they exchange insights on highly actual topics such as 

design, technologies, and trends. 

Hymmen contributes to furniture manufacturing with advanced production technologies for high

quality furniture surfaces. Using practical case studies, Dr. René Pankoke (see Fig. 1) will clearly 

illustrate the respective advantages in his conference presentation. 

The first case study focuses on the British kitchen manufacturer Wren Kitchens, which applies 

Hymmen’s Calender Coating Inert (CCI) technology to achieve either a high-gloss or super-matt 

finish on its kitchen surfaces (see Fig. 2). In the second case study, Pankoke explains the effi

ciency benefits of double-belt press technology to produce kitchen worktops at Egger in Poland 

(see Fig. 3). 

Alternatively, manufacturers also use laminating lines for worktop production. However, these are 

primarily employed for surface coating and edge wrapping of furniture panels, or for coating furni

ture back panels (see Fig. 4). Finally, insights into Hymmen’s digital printing technology for furni

ture manufacturers are not to be missed. The digital décor and structure printing solutions from 

Hymmen offer impressive new design possibilities with maximum flexibility and cost efficiency. The 

patented and field-proven Digital Lacquer Embossing (DLEplus) can be integrated either down

stream of Hymmen’s own JUPITER series single-pass digital décor printers or following a multi

pass printer. Integration into a liquid coating line is also possible (see Fig. 5). 

Surface in Motion is part of interzum forum Italy and is open to all trade fair visitors free of charge. 

The event will be simultaneously translated into Italian and English, with Italian as the main confer

ence language. Attendees can look forward to high-caliber speakers and top-level networking opportunities. In addition to the conference program, sponsors and speakers are invited by the or ganizers to a networking dinner on the evening of the first conference day at a first-class restaurant in Bergamo. Join Dr. René Pankoke on the first day of the conference (June 4, 2026) at 4:00 PM, when he will present practical insights from case studies on production technologies for furniture manufacturing.
